(Back to the) Future in a bottle
I can remember the first time I tried it (2001-2002)
For me, the fragrance was the first experience of a "definable/describable" feeling that could be evoked by a fragrance.
Neither fragrance notes nor opening/middle/drydown were known to me at that time (let alone forums)
It was just "me,myself&I" Ergo my nose, the scent and my unbiased perception"
I got the feeling of smelling something FUTURISTIC.
Over time, I could recognize that mint and synthetics (pla-sticky) made up the scent, but I accepted it without judgement.
I also felt so proud and vindicated when, at least 10 years later, I saw a
Youtube review of the well-known robes-08.
I found the perfume downright stimulating and those around me also reacted very positively to it. Even 15 years later (loooong hiatus in between)
One of my best friends bought it for himself shortly afterwards, and a colleague of mine at work wanted to "force" it on her husband :)
I think that the fragrance is quite suitable for young adults (but - unlike me - not at work, but casual/clubbing)
In my opinion, it still has a unique selling point, although it is compared to Bleecker Street. (I never came into contact with the supposedly similar Purple Label)
