I actually haven't worn this fragrance for much more than 15 years.
For various reasons....

To be honest, I even gave the fragrance away (98 out of 100 ml) back then.
I just couldn't wear it. Not anymore.

It was the last fragrance my father gave me for Christmas before he passed away.
My father thought so much about what I would like as a gift.
After all, he knew that I already had a clear opinion on fragrances at a young age.

Spraying this fragrance again today (from a vintage bottle) took a little, no, even a little more than a little effort.

At the time, the "coat" of apple and cinnamon was too much for me. I was on a much fresher trip after Bogner, Relax and co.

Today, on a sunny but very cold Saturday, the "coat" of this note enveloped me, surrounded me and made me feel safe.

The ingredients are well known, but the simple effect was completely new and unexpected for me today.
Tears welled up in my eyes and I was very touched.

I feel my father's devotion. The desire to choose a new, special fragrance for his son. It wasn't normally his job. Because his mother always helped.
This time he wanted to surprise us both....

What I wouldn't give to be able to tell my father that this one Christmas was a very special Christmas for me. And will always be.

Many people probably say that the fragrance was or is not a brilliant achievement.
Others say it takes you back to the 80s or 90s.
Both are right.

For me, this fragrance will always have a very special meaning, at least since today.
Even if LV or Creed inspired me years later - my heart belongs to fragrances like Montblanc Presence.
Not because they are better - on the contrary - but because they evoke emotions.....
And aren't emotions important?
