At the beginning, I must mention that I come from the countryside! And I mean real countryside. With everything that goes along with it! The cows are next door, and you not only know all the people by name but also the cows! Something like that. In any case, we don't have a perfumery here. Not even a drugstore! Therefore, visits to the perfumery are not only rare for me but also something really special!
I received a 20% code for all brands at the perfumery P..... (I'm not sure if I can mention that here) by mail. They had VIP Days. My sister lives in Dortmund, and I casually suggested that I visit her with Mom. So, armed with my voucher and full of excitement, I headed to the perfumery. I started to tremble because I saw that there was now a huge corner with niche fragrances! Byredo, Terenzi, Xerjoff, Initio, so many new brands. I turned bright red and was actually overwhelmed right away.
A really very, very friendly and knowledgeable saleswoman was by my side. She quickly noticed that I already knew quite a bit and was totally open and interested in scents! She took her time with me. After a while, we arrived at Terenzi. She said, "So! I think I can gauge you a bit! May I just spray something on you that will accompany you for the rest of the day?!" Of course, bring it on. I thought the woman was great. Honestly. I would have loved to have a coffee with her right away. She sprayed Leo by Terenzi on me! By the way, she mentioned that it was her favorite scent for going out!
Inhale, pause for a moment. I got huge eyes! What is this?!! I had actually never smelled anything like it. I could sense citrus notes, but I wasn't sure. The lady said, "It's great, isn't it?! I knew you would like it!" She was right. I found it amazing! Extraordinary. Fairly speaking, I must say that the opening was intense. A bit biting and just strong. The typical Terenzi synthetics, you either love them or you hate them.
Shortly after, the magic of this fragrance unfolded: Creamy, powdery citrus notes. Soooo beautifully blended. Polished, elegant, confident. Striking!!
I was looking forward to testing it further throughout the day.
By the way, I bought
Animalique. Oh man, I was so happy about the purchase that I almost cried.
But then this: Mom and my sister were waiting for me in a department store. Proudly, I walked over and presented my bag. Mom squinted her eyes, even needed a tissue. "My God!! What is that?!!? You didn't actually buy that, did you?!" And my sister started sneezing. Hatschi, Hatschi. "Wow Anna, that really doesn't work at all!! Did you really buy that?" - they smelled Leo in the air! I said that I bought another one. Both were very happy about that. At first, I found it amusing, but in the restaurant, Mom asked me to please sit a bit further away because she couldn't breathe because of the scent. She was unfortunately serious. Accordingly, the drive back home was quite tense! An hour and a half of complaining about my beloved
Leo.
A few days later, I got a decant. The scent wouldn't leave my mind!
I sprayed it on again. Terenzi synthetics, authentic, soft citrus. Powder. Powdery musk, powder fluff. An adult cloud full of energy and confidence. I loved it. It drew me in!
Mom doesn't need to know about this!
