First great love...
as a teenager of the 90's you couldn't help but notice the scent. With a broad chest, discovering the world, enjoying freedom at the age of 17, it was important to us to smell good even then. And there was this male bottle in the perfumeries, literally screaming for us. I can still remember the first time, what an incredible opening, what a performance, what a desire to own it immediately. And yes, it was an incredible fragrance for our generation back then, if not THE fragrance. Which with its powerful Sillage fascinated everyone nearby. So we too had to jump on the le male Express. We wanted to smell like the well-trained guys on the posters looked, for us "masculine and strong". That's why almost all of us had him standing in our parents' bathroom
Friday evening, finally a weekend to meet friends, off to the bar, to the disco. Dusted in a cloud of le paint. It was exciting to wear it. From the moment you left the apartment until late into the night, the scent kept coming back to your nose, wonderful. This sweetness, the strength, the woody, cinnamony, it did not let go of us and made us more confident. That's how it should be because we wanted to impress the girls in our group. Comments like "oh what do you smell good again" "who has Jean Paul up here" were a constant companion. With this scent the women's world lies at our feet, at least that's what we expected.
So it went on for a long time, until the scent unfortunately found more and more male carriers, jumping more and more on the ever accelerating train. So it happened with two similarly polarizing scents of his time JPH & DCW that he was less and less considered special and sometimes even seemed to be disturbing and out of place. One had come to terms with him and he was proverbially sprayed....unfortunately.
Despite all this, it was my first self-bought fragrance, my first great love in the perfume world. I still own the bottle with about 5ml content. It has been in my collection for over 20 years and will remain there. I have not worn it for a long time. But as with so many things, I think back with longing to the wonderful time, the freedom we felt and lived then. Exactly then I spray myself once on my wrist and enjoy its scent and revel in memories.
Just as the fragrance was my first, so is this comment - Le paint a fragrance of its time. Tall, masculine, room filling, wonderful...you are and remain with me.
