Now I have to write my first comment and it can only be 'Stronger with you'. Because I'm not so long in the "perfume business". Of course, at that time for every birthday and every Christmas from the relatives get the gift boxes of well-known sportswear manufacturers such as Adidas, Puma, etc. as a gift. And they all smelled the same to me - all equally bad. That, for me, typical monotonous "perfume smell".

Therefore, the interest in fragrances was for a long time as good as non-existent. From father I knew only Russian leather. At that time not my case. So the perfume department was basically ignored in the store and headed straight for the deodorant department. And that went on for a few years so.

Well, and then there was a few months ago the change of heart. And the rash was, who does not know him, a certain Jeremy from Youtube. Some love him, others hate him - he comes in any case quickly to the point and has, as far as I can judge as a layman, idea what he's talking about. In fact, it was his fragrance 'Office, which I ordered first - but more about that perhaps in another comment.

Through him and also others, I first got to know the huge variety of fragrances. The monotonous image of the boring perfume scent developed into a mosaic of countless impressions. I had never heard of soap scents or scents like freshly showered. Though I always wondered when people walked past me at work after a few hours and still smelled like freshly showered. I always thought "gosh, I'd like that shower gel too".

But now let's get to the actual fragrance: Stronger with you. After I had ordered some fragrances, this fragrance often came as a sample with in the package. But I had never really paid attention to him. Until one evening I was standing in the bathroom. I had some work to do on my PC and wanted to quickly put on a scent (I love to put on scents for myself at home). And now my eyes got stuck on "Stronger with you". Najut, you have to test him at least once.
So the typical sequence á la Jeremy and over in front of the PC. And then it came over me already. Something like that was unknown to me until then. This sweetness - this masculine sweetness. How can something be so light and sweet, yet come across as so masculine. I couldn't get enough of it. And yet, for a long time, it just stood next to it. Never used. Never noticed.

I sat at the computer for a very long time and the fragrance stayed. I can unfortunately not say much about the individual fragrance notes - I'm still in the discovery phase. But for me it was certain, this could be MY fragrance.

The next day I drive to a very good friend down to discuss something for the university. So I walk into the house and walk past him. Wait a minute That scent. That cloying scent. You've got to be kidding me.
i approached him directly about his perfume and he told me quite proudly how he had bought a new fragrance and he was in love with it. It was 'his' new fragrance.

And all of a sudden it was over with my romance. I felt cheated - out of the dream. I continue to love this fragrance, but all of a sudden it was no longer 'my' fragrance.

May sound strange, but it could no longer become my 'signature scent'. I bought him also still, but the butterflies in the stomach are no longer there. In the evening, alone in front of the PC, I meet him again in the bathroom. But an intimate relationship that will probably no longer.
