The strong woman
When we first moved here ten years ago, I kept looking up at your bedroom window. I thought I could see your face behind the window. A shadow, perhaps? Now I use these rooms long ago myself, but my glances, they sometimes still go up and look for your face.
You had always been the strong woman in my life. You were the one who supported me in almost hopeless situations and even protected me when I needed it so badly. My childhood, my youth - you were always by my side. I didn't always like everything you said and did, but today I know you were right about so many things.
As a child, I also rummaged now and then in your bathroom cabinet. Which perfume you wore, I can unfortunately no longer remember. But your deodorant, this pink can, it was 8&4 or bac, back in the eighties, I remember very well. Sometimes I sprayed a little myself.
2023: Polly sprays Facets by Avon from 1988 and once again sticks her childish little head in the bathroom cabinet of grandma, sprays a little from the pink can. Yes, I remember this fragrance clearly. Floral, somewhat sweet, already with a certain opulence, but still somehow delicate. For jasmine and musk I probably already had a certain weakness back then. The fragrance is finely classic and yet already a little sweet. Quite typical for that time. The oak moss in the base, so typical of the eighties, gets in the heart a little powdery sweetness given and it creates a perfume where the cold Chypre shoulder is already no longer so cold, but also already a subtle touch of warmth resonates.
So suitable for you. Since you already had to work hard and provide for your family as a young girl, you had always been a strong woman. Those who knew you did not always immediately think of you as a warm-hearted person with your often gruff manner. Only those people who knew you very well felt that.
Facets would have liked you certainly.
With very dear thanks to MadameLagras for the test opportunity. So I was allowed to linger mentally today a bit with my dear grandma.
