a pleasant encounter
Recently, in one of the well-known drugstores, I was browsing among the fragrances and came across a test bottle of "Strenesse".
How I loved my light-colored cloth coat from this brand back then, which I really wore until it was too tight and its slight shabbiness (wear and tear on the pockets and hem, due to constant use and the hard seats on public transport) could no longer be overlooked. Rarely have I found it so difficult to put an item of clothing in the old clothes box.
But I had never tried a fragrance from this brand before.
So not only was my skin generously used, but also one of the test strips I always keep in my purse (together with plasters in different widths) as a projection surface.
Pleasant and unagitated, I was enveloped by a delicate lightness that was not too fleeting.
A fresh, fruity opening greeted me; the hint of lemon (with my usual metallic aroma) evaporated relatively quickly, a bowl of light table pear invited me to bite into it with a fine hint of fruit and pink pepper (a contemporary phenomenon that I can easily do without) seemed to shake itself only briefly, making it bearable for me.
The gentle, fragrant flap of a butterfly's wings touched me very pleasantly.
The pure innocence of magnolias and water lilies delighted me; it is always a pleasure to look at them. Sweet aromas of ripe, plump velvet peaches, just the way I like them, and the tartness of blackcurrant added a bit of fruity depth to what had been a very airy arrangement; it doesn't get too sticky, as I might have feared, and so also fits perfectly with the skillfully dosed base notes of woody, smoky familiar nuances.
None of this offers any great surprises, but it does weave itself into a creation that is easy to wear with a not-so-small touch of sophisticated chic to accompany you through everyday life and also goes well with the informality of some summer evenings.
"Strenesse" shows craftsmanship that delights without great pomp, but through straightforward guidance of the yet selected fragrance notes.
In the evening after testing it on my skin and sniffing the strip several times, I felt enveloped and pleasantly accompanied by a delicate lightness of scent all around.
Some days you don't even need more.
So this unexpected and charming encounter - and it will probably not be more than this one - was extremely successful and worth a mention.
