I'll treat myself to it today ..

My mother has been ill for years and is therefore very reluctant to leave the house. It's a real art to persuade her to leave her familiar surroundings. But a week ago I got a call and she asked me if I would like to accompany her to help her with her Christmas shopping. So we drove to Düsseldorf and had a look at all kinds of shops, but we were seldom so enthusiastic about anything. She's a very modest woman, which I can't understand. My father has a very good job in a big company and they don't have to worry about anything financially, but she only wishes the best to all people, but never actually treats herself to anything.

Well, on that day we also visited a big department store and hoped to find a great coat for my father. On the way there we strolled through the perfume department and stopped there so that I could test some new fragrances. Meanwhile my mother talked to a saleswoman, told her that she has only been using Chanel No 5 and Coco for twenty years and doesn't necessarily want to test something new, but she liked a bottle very much. After pointing to The Merchant Of Venice flacons, the lady encouraged you to spray on some fragrances without obligation. She doesn't have to buy anything, but she would just smell something new. She didn't like the first two tested very much, but when they handed her the test strip with Arabesque I saw her smile for the first time that day.

Mothers really do everything for you, if you have problems you usually go to the mother, they stand for us no matter what you do and they would kill for us. There are 2xx euros but really not much. I was just about to tell her to wrap the fragrance up, so she said, "YOU GOY ME TODAY," which is just so beautiful.

We didn't really find much nice in Düsseldorf, but she found a short time of light-heartedness, and we two had a really great day for a long time.

I know this comment doesn't say anything about the scent, but somehow I wanted to share the story. Fragrances can do so much, it surprises me again and again

I also totally like this fragrance and it's on my wish list. A fragrance does not always have to be analyzed for me, stories describe in their own way.

in this day and age of daily showering, isn't it anyway the most important task of a fragrance to be a reflection of the mental state or even to influence it?
a wonderful story!

What a nice comment! There are plenty of descriptions of fragrances, but the feelings, experiences and memories we associate with a fragrance are the soul of every fragrance.

I came across this comment about your 9th birthday. A very great story about the experience with your mother. Especially at Christmas time I like to read such stories very much. Can very well feel what you experienced with your mother. I hope you are all well and like to leave a trophy. And the watch list grows and grows ...)

Many thanks for letting me participate in such a beautiful fragrance memory! Sometimes says more about a fragrance than a differentiated analysis! There's an emotional trophy for that!

I think this comment says a lot about the fragrance. I'm like your mother, and I don't get much. And if it is, it must be something special. If she indulged herself in this fragrance, it was because it touched her deeply. Because he's special. Because it brings her joy. Nice that you had a good time and thank you for this great comment!

Emotionally written, thank you for that. For such beautiful stories the fragrance can play the supporting role. My mother died a year ago today, unfortunately I couldn't talk to her anymore.
