Pure surprise
There are supposed to be them, mocking cheap drugstore scents that really smell surprisingly good, have a decent pleasant sillage and quite good shelf life.
And Like A Walk In The Summer Rain is definitely one of them for me. And if anyone likes this fragrance, I would recommend it to a good conscience. And that I say, which has a weakness for originals from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
A pure coincidence led me to this fragrance about two years ago, which is now a vintage as well.
I happened to read a tip from some blogger who is actually mourning old scents and praised Like A Walk In The Summer Rain as a very cheap, but unique and beautiful fresh summer scent.
On ebay, my hunting ground I found it and had a 50 ml bottle sent to me for 13 € in the immediate purchase.
The first spray impact, without skin contact was not so convincing at first. But on the skin, at least with me, it develops really great and is since then not a daily but very frequent companion in summer as a daily fragrance. On ebay it is offered again and again by someone.
I like that scent. Spraying aquatic, but not biting or pungent. Clean but somehow also with warm echoes. In between also flowery, but not sweet. A hint of fruit can also be perceived. All in all an amazingly balanced fragrance. And I can only stress it, for the price actually a hammer.
For this price segment I find the fragrance really extraordinarily successful. The fragrance has an acceptable sillage without being obtrusive and also has a quite good shelf life, but does not last the whole day. But everyone is familiar with fragrances that cost many times more and are no longer perceptible after just two hours. So it doesn't hurt like A Walk In The Summer Rain to spray two or three times a day.
I think he's great. Even if there are probably users who would call the enthusiasm for this fragrance a banalism.
But I'd rather take a lance for a rare good drugstore scent than for some status water, as they sometimes go over the counter today for a lot of money.

My first self-purchased perfume
Haaach, it's been a long time.
In the official description it says, year of publication 1985.
Strange, I definitely know I had this scent back in 1983. My first self-purchased perfume. At that time, at least by my standards, in the mid price segment and quite affordable for my first salary.
And I loved him.
This fragrance was for me pure good mood, spring, summer, flowery, fresh, young, sparkling and a compliment guarantor. Regardless of whether the compliments came from males or females.
It is a pity that this fragrance is not very well known and that it didn't seem to last long on the market at that time. Because he was a few years later already, in my opinion completely wrong not to get more.
I am inexperienced in describing individual components and fragrance pyramids.
A lively attack, cheerful green and floral notes, yet also a warm undertone. All in all a beautiful bouquet of flowers smelling of nature, to which a few splashes of fruit were added. Without being intrusive or synthetic and with a good sillage and durability.
Sniff! How I'd like to sniff him again.
About two years ago I had a Mini sent to me via ebay as an immediate purchase. Supposedly unopened. Unfortunately tilted and I only noticed a stinging aldehyde note.
From time to time Fleurance is still offered as a mini on ebay. Maybe, with the small prices it is bearable, I will try again my luck to indulge in all the beautiful and happy Twen memories associated with this first, by myself bought fragrance

One bottle long carried
I'm not writing long, not much, here (but I've been reading enthusiastically for some time) and would describe myself as an untrained nose for smelling essences and therefore also as a perfume for laymen. But that's not the reason for being a perfume philistine. My personal preferences lie in the 70s, 80s and 90s, when perfumes, regardless of personal preferences and tastes, really still had a high recognition value. Even fragrances from lower price categories I often feel more beautiful and better in retrospect than some of today's "little waters" for which you should also impudently spend a lot of money.
Yes, I clearly belong to the "mourners" who are constantly mourning for fragrances that are no longer available for purchase. Yeah, and I'm always on ebay hunting for vintage minis. Mind you, Minis. Normal fillings, which are often offered at horrendous prices, are too high a risk for me, which my wallet would take very badly if the dream fragrance is tilted.
But, sorry to all lovers of Chanel No 5, this has never been there during my hunt.
"One bottle long," I used it. An autumn and winter in 2003/2004.
Actually, in retrospect, but at that time at least almost in my mid 40s, not really convinced either and perhaps even carrying a cloud behind me that was unbearable for others.
Was it my job in one of the most conservative industries that exist to date ?
Because that's what I associate with Chanel No. 5, "disguised" conformity. People who reveal nothing, absolutely nothing of their personality.
Yes, with the smell of Chanel No 5 I have the idea of an absolutely opaque, at least to the outside of any emotion, immune woman.
No joy, no sadness, no passion, no exhilaration, no sexiness, no playfulness, no casualness, no charm and no esprit.
Chanel No 5 expresses for me the absolute "Contenance". The absolute in the negative sense. For a woman who in the most positive case, perhaps at least on her deathbed, recognizes that she has made mistakes in her life and missed something. To be authentic and not only adapted and following conventions.
A currently still living woman would be Queen Elizabeth, who would occur to me to Chanel No 5.
One criterion meets Chanel No 5 in any case. A criterion which is also so important to me with my love for vintage fragrances. Chanel No 5 is unmistakable.
But for me in the memory meanwhile as horribly unmistakable.
Sorry for all fans of this classic fragrance.
But I personally can not understand the hype and also the longevity of this fragrance.
Whereby also I love smells, which are taken up surely into the hate list by others.
L'Eau de Monteil by Monteil is for me personally, for example, a scent from the aquatic direction, which many find quite terrible. And I personally love him.
Fragrance preferences can be so different. And I find that exciting and great.
