Of pink elephants
In psychology, there is a thought experiment in which the patient is asked not to think of a pink elephant. If you try it, you'll soon notice that you can't get rid of the pink elephant anymore.
The thoughts cramp up and the more you try, the bigger the elephant gets.
Completely letting go of the efforts is then the only solution.

A special case are pink elephants in the scent memory, as I have noticed, in my experience you can't get rid of them at all.
I got the first one after reading Apicus' commentary on the Iris & White Musk. I've rarely gotten rid of the carrot association with the iris since. I sold my bottle of Jo Malone immediately, the fragrance impression was no longer to save.

My association with organic fragrances is a tea shop from the 80s. Besides tea there were also writing utensils, beautifully decorated stationery, noble diaries and probably also scented oils. I think, the fragrance connection consists of sandalwood and patchouli, otherwise I cannot explain it to myself that with almost every tested bio fragrance this tea shop appears in front of my inner eye.

So it was again the case when testing the great hiking pack of fluxite.
Vanilla& the Sea smells like fruit tea for me in the sum plus time travel in said tea shop.
In the statements I read about sea, amber and tropical fruits. So the fragrance seems to have left a more differentiated impression on other perfumos.

As much as I would like to like organic fragrances, there is a lot to be said for them, I don't want to smell like tea shops.
That's why there won't be anything more with the organic fragrances and me, at least not in this fragrance life.

Reform backlog
Until now, I never thought that a perfume could have anything to do with politics. This morning, while testing the latest Aqua Allegorias Rosa Rossa, of all things, it became clear to me. In the Aqua Allegoria series, it seems to me, there's a big reform backlog, just like in politics.
I was always an Aqua Allegoria fan. But after Flora Rosa, Rosa Pop, Rosa Fizz and Rosa Rossa I have to say: Okaaaay Monsieur Wasser, I think I have a pretty good picture of what you imagine a rose-berry combo to be...
I think it's time to wake up. To set out for new shores. It's time for a revoluthionn like the Spaniard says
So I light a torch, clench my fist in the air and call out to you: Lavender velour! Anisia Bella! Herba Fresca! Winter Delice! These were Aqua Allegorias with profile, which clearly divided the camp into friend and foe! That was inventiveness courageously implemented! That was free fantasy, instead of mainstream dawdling!
Dare to do it again, dear Mr. Water!
And if the fear of falling sales figures paralyses your creativity, keep it up with Emiliano Zapata:
"Better to die upright than live on your knees!"
