An early summer in the south of France in 1994
Here is a short story, if you like you can skip it.
⫷※⫸ We find ourselves in France, 30 years in the past. Back then, as a child, I was particularly aware of all the facets of my surroundings. In the middle of the metropolis of Nice, my parents booked two rooms with a view and direct access to the koi pond in the garden of a beautiful small owner-managed hotel. It rippled idyllically and the fish looked quite happy. At least they tried to eat my fingers. The many flowers and ferns as well as the pond truly left a lasting impression on all the senses.
The town smelled beguilingly of fresh sea air, toasted baguettes, aromatic cafés, fruit and vegetable vendors, pizza, grilled chicken, scooter exhaust and, of course, perfume.
Unlike in Germany, I noticed that the people here smelled different, even strange, unfamiliar and yet so appealing The scent of aldehydes, which I couldn't even name until a few years ago, was the most memorable Every person who walked past us was cloaked and characterized by its scent. On the men I heard particularly masculine scents, similar to Bois du Portugal or Pour Monsieur Eau de Toilette and the ladies wore quite heavy and floral perfumes like N°5 Parfum. The large number of good and chic-looking people was something to be admired even as a child. But it wasn't just Nice that was impressive, the towns in the surrounding area also offered unique moments. But more about that in my other reviews.
️( ͡- ͜ʖ ͡- ) Fragrance: The fragrance starts very intensely and leaves a strong resemblance to the aforementioned No.5. Aldehydes, jasmine, neroli and a subtle rose set the tone here. Coriander provides the fresh kick. Subtle woody, grassy aromas join in and break up the sultry impression somewhat. I personally find the fragrance nostalgic and love to indulge in it. Even as a man. 10/10
⏱️H/S: Very intense at first, more elegant with time. But beware, I'm only talking about one spray! If you apply two, three, four sprays, you will radiate an aldehyde aura that is guaranteed to offend. It gets close to the skin after 6 hours. So a small bottle for longer trips is a good idea if you want to smell it all day long. However, since I personally prefer to wear something else in the evening, this is not a problem for me. 7/10
⭐Conclusion: I love this fragrance. It takes me back to a distant and warm place, to a bygone era and reminds me of the adventures of my innocent childhood. With its woody green notes, the fragrance is also very wearable for men. But be careful, remember the dose. 8/10
Thank you for your attention ️️
