Rewind to 2017
I received this fragrance as a birthday gift in 2017. I am writing this review because I have formed a special bond with this fragrance.
It was autumn 2017 and I had traveled to Hamburg for the weekend. There, I wore this fragrance. But I didn't have this special bond because I was in Hamburg, but because a few days before I got a message with "I love you" from my girlfriend at the time, who I had been in love with for months before. She was previously quasi my dream woman.
When I smell this fragrance, memories and the feelings that I felt at that time when I wore this fragrance come up again directly.
I can remember all the situations in Hamburg, as I walked as the happiest person on the Elbufer at the St. Pauli fish market along on the way to the Altonaer balcony. I passed a kitchen studio, which was a bit behind the Fischmark. Later I went up a stone staircase. When I reached the Altonaer Balkon after a few meters, suddenly the sun was shining. I could remember less of that moment if I hadn't been wearing that scent.
I find it fascinating what scents can evoke in you.
It was a feeling up and down though. When she didn't message me for a few hours, I was sad and afraid of losing her. However, when she replied, I was chipper again.
This perfume just tells the story and the feelings back then and I'm sure it wouldn't have been so memorable without it.
Yes, there are better alternatives like DHI or Valentino UOMO Intense, but they won't beat Roi d'Orient. The story behind the fragrance is more exciting for me than the fragrance itself, so the above fragrances do not come close to this one, even though I own all three.
