Soft Contrast Otto Kern 2018 Eau de Toilette

In the often overlooked world of fragrances, there are occasionally treasures to discover that shine more through their value than their price. One day, during a brief escape from the routine of our training, my two friends and I stumbled upon such a treasure. Our setting was the DM, a place that had never before seemed like a haven for special discoveries. We scoured the shelves, driven by the desire to extract a touch of joy from the monotony of our lunch break.

Among the numerous bottles crowding the shelves - some from brands that whispered synthetic like Esprit and Ariana Grande - one of us found an unassuming little bottle. It was not a product that impressed with its oil content, but rather with the gentle, inviting aura it exuded. "Soft" and cuddly, I would describe the scent, and at that moment, there was no other product that could compare.

Despite its modest longevity, which saw the scent fade after just half an hour, it offered something that went far beyond its material value. It was not for those seeking recognition from others, but for those who found joy in a fragrance for themselves. Like a velvet scarf gently wrapping around the shoulders, it provided a bridge to inner peace, accessible to anyone willing to find it.

It was as if we had found the Jigglypuff among Pokémon - a treasure that was available for just an apple and an egg, whose value lay in its ability to bring joy. Both my friend and I decided to get this bottle, and to this day, I wear it with a special fondness. In contrast to the more expensive perfumes that stand guard on my shelf, this one lies alone in my gym bag and will not be swapped for another sporty scent; it serves me perfectly as a kind of "shh, shh" express shower for the gym. It is not a scent for "battle," but rather a dear companion; the Jigglypuff that fills the air around me with a loving sweetness.
