Yesterday I was nervous and restless - and scientists have found that shopping calms women - while it excites men.
Here, in our togetherness, this holds true.
My husband’s hair stands on end during our shopping trips - while I look and gaze - and gaze and look ...
To cut the long story short, he takes many a bottle from my hand - which I am still pondering - and carries it to the checkout.
So his impatience, paired with decisiveness, has its merits.
When I show my delight, he grumbles that he doesn’t want to spend the night in the store.
But yesterday a friend accompanied me to Karstadt - and she manages to be even more long-winded than I am.
Finally, we arrived at Karstadt at a snail's pace - caught up in a gigantic human whirlpool - which I find quite uncomfortable.
So I was also pushed through the department store by eager shoppers.
Nevertheless, my antennas were tuned in, and I spotted Olympea Aqua Eau de Parfum legere out of the corner of my eye.
Wow - I don’t have that yet - but I do have the EdP.
I usually particularly like the lighter versions of fragrances - and this is no exception.
I am completely taken with the sweet coolness of this scent.
I pause - and also hold up the traffic - but I don’t care.
This fragrance, paired with water jasmine and salted vanilla, completely captivates me.
The orange has a calming effect, the cashmere wood warms, and neroli cools it down.
An exquisite blend that focuses my attention - without any excitement or intrusiveness.
This scent is casual in the boldest sense of the word.
The noise around me fades away, and calm returns.
In my ears, soft and sonorous cello music plays - performed by Hauser.
Aqua legere has found its place with me.
Scientists have found that shopping calms women - while it excites men. How true - mine is even worse than yours, because he doesn't gift me perfume in between. I prefer to shop alone - then I have time to browse, try things on, and relax at a street café :-)
A new comment from Pudelbonzo - that always makes me happy. I really like your blend of fragrance description with personal touches! And this Olympea offshoot sounds good - I've noted it down for testing.
That sounds really lovely! I’m not familiar with the scent yet - the way you describe it makes me really eager to try it. If writing reviews were an Olympic sport, you’d definitely be a top contender for a medal!
