The first great love
The One Million and I have a long history. Back then, I was 13 or 14 when I smelled this fragrance in the schoolyard of an older classmate. I asked him what kind of deodorant he was using. He laughed at me and said "Deodorant? My good man, that's perfume. That's the One Million"
I was enchanted by this fragrance. That red mandarin (more of a grapefruit to me) combined with the sweet seductive cinnamon just took me on a journey. I had no idea about fragrances back then. That was my first contact with a perfume.
From then on, I always paid attention when the older classmate walked past me and I "smelled after him".
It was clear to me that "one day that would be my perfume".
I started to save up my pocket money because my parents and grandparents didn't want to spend so much money on water that smelled like something.
Then I bought this beautiful fragrance. From then on, many years followed with many bottles & shower gels. I wore it up and down, every day. At school, at parties & at home. I was addicted and it was part of me. At some point, everyone else around me started wearing this perfume too and so it lost its appeal for me. I was annoyed "they're all copying me" but I would never have been able to stop the One Million Tsunami that started rolling back then. Now I started wearing a Diesel here or a Lacoste there. But for the time being, I didn't have that real wow effect like I did with the One Million back then. That only came when I entered the niche world a few years ago. But the One Million will always have a special place in my heart. Even if I no longer own one. When I smell it today, it makes me happy and it still enchants me and catapults me back 15 years. I'm pretty sure I'll get one again, just for the nostalgia.
That was my short story between me and an old acquaintance :)
