An "eau de toilette" makes history...
And again, it's nostalgia catching up with me with a vengeance. To preface, perfumes are good for me. When everything goes wrong, when I'm pulled out of my calm waves into the swirling water, my olfactory senses turn out to be the saviour in distress. Pure meditation.
I was 19 in 1993, which is a long fucking time ago. Where has the time gone? What all have I done or not done? In a nutshell. A lot of things done, experienced, explored, and some things not. Wild, carefree, happy years - with few dreary episodes of loneliness. And weren't the 90s incredibly sexy? Hell yes! I remember tight knit dresses and long, henna-dyed hair. And always full of a stunning and haunting eau de toilette. Namely Classique by Gaultier anno 1993. Probably every woman I knew wore it. The fragrance, which epitomizes Madonna in her sexy corsage, damatically and passionately performing "the prayer," created a trend. The trend of the 90's that represents a whole new woman. Wicked and perky, unique and sassy. What's behind it? A potpourri of spices, fruits, blossoms, woods and an all-balancing vanilla, which gives women many a look. Whether for the fragrance or the woman who wears it, is once left to be seen.
Finally, it is the woman who makes up the fragrance that she wears. Or is it the fragrance that makes the woman? I'm not so sure about Gaultier's Classique. Fragrances also make people.
