After not writing a comment for 100 days and using the holidays more for wine, Vienna, and singing, I guess it’s time to write one on the weekend.
Let’s imagine the following tricky situation:
A hardened bachelor in his early 30s, in his prime, has to fend off attempts to set him up - far too many people in his gigantic circle of acquaintances mean well for him...
Now he’s caught again: a nearly unavoidable date has been arranged in his absence, be it through an aunt who knows a nice colleague who would supposedly be a great match for him, or a friend of his mother who knows a super friendly acquaintance from commuting on the train, who is to be recommended...
Well: in any case, there’s now this coffee date on early Saturday evening, and from everything he’s heard about the lady, it’s probably not going to work out: vegetarian, militant animal rights activist, spiritually inclined with a mix of Buddhism and Taoism, as much sense of indecent humor as Mr. Higgins (Magnum), and with an attitude that doesn’t even allow for fun during sex IN marriage (practicing beforehand is out of the question) - just somehow totally nice and totally boring..
Well, that’s not really a problem; although acting like a baboon is out of the question, because firstly, he doesn’t want to offend the nice girl, and secondly, he doesn’t want to embarrass the mutual acquaintance - but exactly for this case, I have my secret weapons: warm up a bit of vinegar and inhale it until the nasal hairs are burned away, and due to the acetic acid, you certainly won’t be able to smell anything for hours; then take out the super weapon from the vault and douse yourself with Boris Becker, and off you go to the date; there, be really nice and friendly and wonder why the young lady suddenly has to rush home so quickly. Since he tells her at the beginning that he’s currently working in a chemistry lab (internship, minor in chemistry, who knows), she can’t hold it against him and won’t tell the concerned mutual acquaintance anything unpleasant; he was polite and all, but unfortunately, the spark just didn’t fly...
So far, so simple. But now the following happens: just before the obligatory date and the procedure with the vinegar, he meets a really interesting young lady, and unfortunately, she is only available later that Saturday evening.
Since the first date of the evening certainly won’t last longer than a mandatory hour (ordering drinks, drinking, polite conversation, waiting for the waiter to finally come for the bill), he can easily fit the second one in, but: with Boris Becker on the burned skin, he certainly can’t show up at this meeting; washing it off and spraying on a casual scent won’t work either, because he can’t get rid of Boris Becker, like a TV omnipresent character - so what to do?!
We have the solution for these very special cases - it’s Serge Noir!
And it works as follows:
You douse yourself generously with SN, which smells really nasty of ammonia for the first 3 hours = pigsty for me; we tell the first date that we’re currently working on a farm (You know: internship, experiential education with the class on the farm, etc.), after an hour the obligation is fulfilled and the fun can follow; if you time it right so that you have the second date about 2.5-3.5 hours later, then it actually smells quite good, spicy, and can already be a panty-dropper. The important date goes really well, afterwards the post goes through the roof so much that the neighbors above their apartment start making noise on the floor, and they stay until breakfast, and only then do they head home - all the while, there’s still the distinctly pleasant spicy scent supporting them...
Life is unfortunately quite complicated, and you can’t often use this fragrance in the described situation, which is why it’s hard to evaluate it in general or for everyday use; at first, I found it terrible, then I endured the pigsty phase several times, and the beginning also became more bearable through habituation. It is certainly a work of art in itself, difficult, not everyone’s cup of tea, hardly universally wearable, but still interesting and a character that is one of a kind, provocative, polarizing. It leaves me with this strange mix of aversion and fascination, just like Kouros, etc.; however, I certainly have no intention of buying it at the moment...
