Good Against 'Wet Dog'
This fragrance was a blind buy - and simply because the Italian wholesaler I discovered in my area did not have the desired Tessori d'Oriente scent "Marrakech Essenze e Spezie - Ambra e Zafferano" available. And since I was already there and the shop had a certain charm, I didn't want to leave empty-handed. And spices and woods don't sound bad either, and for five euros, you can't go wrong...
Well - first of all, the spray head didn't work, so I had to go back to the car and exchange it. And since we were already there, I also picked up some Italian cookies. They were really good too.
At home, I tried out the new acquisition and ... the enthusiasm just didn't kick in. So I put it in the cupboard, so I could say 'oh, I've had that for a long time' in case anyone asked.
In some unobserved moments, I tried it again and again, but the enthusiasm was still not there.
The scent is quite strong, the spices and woods are not really identifiable.
And while "Marrakech Essenze e Spezie - Ambra e Zafferano" is a soft, warm scent that I really enjoy wearing, and "Vaniglia e Zenzero" is also a pleasant fragrance to wear, I have to say that I wouldn't necessarily dare to wear "Africa" around people. It's just too loud and has that hairspray note that clings to the arm for hours.
In the meantime, I have found a use for "Africa":
My little one likes to take Benno for walks. Benno is my mom's dog, who lives a bit outside of town.
So it happens that the little one goes to get the dog and walks into town, or I drive the little one to the dog, then we put the guy in the car and drive into town, and she walks back with him. He enjoys it because he loves riding in the car.
Unfortunately, he doesn't really care about personal hygiene, which is especially noticeable when it's a bit wet.
Then my little delivery van smells like 'wet dog' for days.
And that's where "Africa" comes into play - spray a paper strip well, stick it in the ventilation, turn on the heating - and the 'wet dog' is no longer detectable.
With the remaining 98 ml, I can still take the dog for many walks.

It's a shame that I no longer have a dog. There have been several situations where I would have relied on that.
