Start of career
The years 2003/2004 were special for me: I moved away from home for the first time in a long while. I got to know an incredible number of nice people and broadened my musical horizon. I had finished my studies except for my last oral exam and was allowed to gain my first experiences in a real job. At that time I was a volunteer and of course still completely green behind the ears, but hey, I felt great! My scent at that time: Aroma Source from Lancome.
Yeah, another obituary. I loved this scent that was my introduction to the world of fresh scents. I had never really been interested in citrus before, but knowing that I would now be working in an office, this delicate, wonderful freshness came in handy. Although the beautiful blue suggests it, Aroma Source was not an aquat per se. Aquatic fragrances with that typical calone note were never really my cup of tea, even when I was young. But Aroma Source manages an elegant balancing act between a citrus scent, aquatic notes, delicate floral freshness and woody tones. I can only guess what is supposed to be contained here, because Lancome didn't leave us a fragrance pyramid when they buried the beautiful fragrance far too early.
The start is citrusy fresh for the time being and this freshness will last. I bet on bergamot, because I always have a little bit of Aroma Source in the back of my mind in the beginning of both Bal d'Afrique and Guerlain AA Bergamote Calabria. There are also salty notes, similar to Kerosenes Walk the Sea or Hermès' Eau de Merveilles Bleue. At the heart, the fragrance is delicately floral. My nose thinks that white flowers were used here, but they didn't come to the fore. The basic character of the fragrance remains consistently fresh. Say goodbye to Aroma Source with a woody base and a subliminal hint of freshness. Perhaps cedar with a touch of vetiver? Could be right.
The fragrance always convinced me with its great durability. I seem to remember that Aroma Source was marketed as a pure body care fragrance. So neither eau de toilette nor eau de cologne. In terms of durability, however, it was in no way inferior to an eau de toilette or even an eau de perfume, because it always lasted a whole day in the office. All this with a rather discreet silage. Just right for sitting together with many colleagues in tight spaces. The only drawback is the flacon, which is much too big, bulky and not even particularly decorative. It didn't fit into any cupboard and was also not so easy to transport.
Again and again people ask for this treasure in the forum. So he had his fans, not only Mrs. Pollita. For them I recommend one of the above mentioned comparison scents, but although he has something from all of them, nobody comes to 100 percent.
If I could sniff it again, I would immediately think of billiards or badminton with my best friend at that time (whom I unfortunately lost sight of), a fine, very small club concert of the Backyard Babies, a super-class city festival and my favourite CD at that time, "Figure No. 5" by Soilwork (still very popular today). That was such a great time!
