Exit - Scent
Percy is not in a good position at all - and he is facing a problem. In March, he had a "cheap scent" come from the USA, which has an embarrassing name.
In his Industrial Style hipster-like furnished loft on the 8th floor of a new building project in Frankfurt am Main with a view of the skyline only selected fragrances in ultracool flacons make it in the normal case. He gets recommendations for good fragrances in one of Frankfurt's upscale perfumeries, where he has been a regular customer for ten years.
Now Percy corona-conditioned in the last months often had boredom. There was a lot of idle time in the home office and also an incredible amount of free time. For this reason he registered in a perfume forum. There he read about an almost magical fragrance that makes the hearts of all possible and previously impossible sexual partners beat faster and ordered it. And what happened? The goddamn stuff hit.
Yet it's a rather crude, simple scent. Sandalwood and patchouli, spices. Lots of cinnamon Moss in the drydown. There is also some musk. Some herbs. Old school in a good way. Kind of democratic.
A "Héritage" for tough guys? A "M7" without oudh? A pheromene fragrance without hormones?
Percy has been using "Sex Appeal" for four weeks. In that time, he's cheated several times on his best-ager dating app, where you can enter your preferred scents under "special preferences." When Isolde visited him a week ago (with a negative Corona test, of course!), he wasn't wearing Clive Christian No. 1. And when Florian, 53 (and a cardiologist who's been vaccinated since January), spent the night at his place the night before yesterday, it wasn't the latest Kurkdijan scent he'd sprayed on himself either. Berthold, 58, the smart literary critic who is friends with Luca Turin, was also lied to by him. To him, he didn't spray himself with "Timbuktu," which he had originally claimed.
No, it was the El Cheapo hero "Sex Appeal" every time that made such a lasting impression on his contacts that they want to personally pick up the bottle of his fragrance the next time they see him.
"You, if I'm ever with you again, I want you to spray me from head to toe with your scent," Florian asks.
"What was the name of that stunning scent you had on last night?" asks Berthold via signal messenger. And Isolde desperately wants the spray for her son (31, happily married for four years, clerk at the Sonnenberg district court). "The boy is such a wimp. He needs a real banger perfume that will make him grow a few chest hairs. Maybe then I'll finally have grandkids!"
Percy is desperate. That's what he gets now.
The only thing that helps is to flee forward: he will block Isolde, Florian and Berthold.
Delete the dating app. Shut down his profile on the perfume forum.
Of "Sex Appeal for Men" he has bought up all the bottles available online. Eau de toilette and after shave! Whatever. He wants it all. He needs it all. Both in Europe and the US. He's also ordered fancy glass vaporizers... He's going to decant "Sex Appeal" into them.
And if anyone ever asks him for his scent secret again, (which is to be expected), he will reply that his scent is custom-made. "Comes from Athens and is called Kirjakos," he will say.
Such a sly dog, that Percy.
