But yes, but no...
It's Sunday afternoon, around 2 p.m.: I'm standing in the playground at the zoo, swinging at my daughter. It's quite crowded. Several fathers with children are standing and walking with their children nearby.
I perceive an extremely good citrus scent with increasing intensity, which is also increasingly confusing me.
How strong must someone's perfume be here for me to perceive it so intensely?
It must be the father rocking his child right next to me. I'm about to ask him what smells so incredibly clear and delicious, like spicy citrus wood, when he walks away.
After a while and several changing suspects in my immediate vicinity, I realize that it can't be coming from someone else. Instead, the scent becomes more precise: I briefly think of Creed's juniper-lemon Royal Water
Was it perhaps the spray of Dolce Gabbana lemon that I tried on my right wrist yesterday? But it really wasn't that natural and complex at the same time. It can't be that long-lasting either, it must be long gone. I smell it on my wrist - no. Nothing.
I am at a loss, but at least I realize that this fragrance is extremely good.
Suddenly, I remember that I have two samples with me from a returned letter. I anxiously reach into my jacket pocket.
Worst case: the one 2ml atomizer has completely leaked. My hand is wet, as is my jacket pocket. What if a base of Yasmin-Sambac-Osmanthus-Labdanum follows? Will the zoo animals get restless? Will I be banned from the playground? Will I ever dare go home again?
At the moment, though, it just smells delicious.
Shakily, I reach for my cell phone and type in the fragrance name on the broken tube on Parfumo.
Thank goodness: well rated, "citrusy" fragrance.
That's half the battle.
Then the fragrance notes: thunder weather. Almost everything I like in a perfume. Mandarin, juniper, cedar...
You can't get any luckier with a broken tester.
I've never ordered a bottle so quickly: Still in the monkey house, only the orangutans were witnesses.
Two days later, I want to go to work and once again I can't place what I smell. I don't like it at all, it doesn't suit me: it's a sticky-sweet incense scent.
Of course, my jacket...
Respect for the longevity and respect for these clear phases, which are separated from each other like different perfumes: first lemon with juniper, then a somewhat iso-like cedar intermezzo and finally a somewhat too patient incense base.
Because of the latter, I sent the bottle back unopened after all.
A rather time-consuming, but also revealing test experience.
And now my jacket has to go to the laundry.
