Replay Replay 1996 Eau de Toilette

[A report from memory - because there's no other way]
I'm 16, my interest in perfumes and "shopping" has awakened, and no trip to the nearby shopping center goes by without my mother and I also sniffing through the perfume shelves at Müller. Due to pocket money I slip more and more in the direction of affordable and finally end up in front of a flacon, which is almost at the men's fragrances, or not, or is it? Anyway: Replay is also known to me as a supercool jeans brand; I like the print ads and so does the fragrance: nice spicy, full-bodied, warm.

I proudly wear the new scent to school. A few days later the new, young religion teacher passes me in the corridor - and clearly draws a whiff of replay behind him. Oh dear! Although I find the scent on him too feminine, I am now unsure myself whether the scent on myself is too masculine. In everyday school life, Replay is now taboo. It is now mainly my leisure scent and accompanies me during my holidays in Ireland. To these Vibes it fits completely particularly:

FREEDOM " Replay has something wild, radiant and at the same time pleasantly embracing about it. Wild and herbaceous, the scent fits the basic character of Ireland with its hills and unflappable, unbreakable shrubs, probably because of the juniper and lavender.

WÄRME " Because the weather in Ireland changes so quickly, a fat wool sweater is mandatory, which is tied around the hips in a 90s super cool way when not needed. This woollen sweater, knitted by my favourite aunt, scratches a little, just enough that it is still bearable. This slightly itchy thing with all the cuddly stuff is also what the first Replay has in it. At this point I almost suspected incense as well ... That will be all the woods
WILDERNESS " Well - I was never the punk I might have been if the circumstances in my childhood had been different. I may have always been a little reluctant, but I never adapted. And that too embodies Replay: the fragrance was absolutely individual, but without killing you. Loud: No. Sweet: certainly not. Sympathetic: for that very reason!

NEUNZIGER " It may be nostalgic transfiguration, but I'm sure many would agree that designer fragrances have dared to be more daring in the 90s. Replay is definitely one of them. It's almost unbelievable, but this 20 DM scent (let's say it cost as much or just under that) had much more dimension and also bang than most designer fragrances today.

Just because of this memory of my youth and holidays I miss Replay very much. Needless to say that I have always been looking for a similar successor. Marni Marni" was a bit like that - unfortunately taken off the market again. If someone knows something similar, I would be grateful for any recommendation!
