The sultans of swing
When my husband and I met, it seemed like two worlds were colliding.
He wore suit combinations with ties - I wore jeans with "real" holes.
He hosted a complete Villeroy & Boch service in his immaculate apartment - while I used the octagonal department store dishes from which I liked to drink my tea.
He is, of course, a coffee drinker.
I shared my four walls with numerous cute plush toys - and many pictures.
In his luxury abode, I found only bare walls.
His shelves were neatly filled with scientific books - in my "library," there were disorderly novels, comics, and sheet music.
We didn’t have to worry about having much in common.
This also applied to our extensive vinyl and CD collections.
His domain was pop music - mine was independent music.
Comparable to mainstream perfumes and niche perfumes.
But that didn’t deter me - because I love getting to know new things.
Differences can also be enriching.
So I became friends with "commercial" music - of which I particularly liked Dire Straits.
The lively Sultans of Swing especially captivated me.
They echoed in my ears as I sprayed Sultan de Muscat today.
Here, I find an unusually light to cheerful oriental that goes along with the music.
The spices dance in a circle and remain suspended.
The woods are flexible and translucent.
Soft leather forms a background to the golden musk.
The Sultan has torn off his turban and grooves in his golden seraglio.
Mainstream meets niche - and man meets woman - because this hearty, warm fragrance is unisex.
By the way - this Rituals scent pleases both my husband and me equally.

We both like Dire Straits. Just like Bruce Springsteen.
When it comes to fragrances, he's 'neutral'.
