I sprayed it randomly

Posted by Robin on 11 December 2024 4 Comments

I would not have thought to wear the perfume to attract or to feel virile as most other brands attempt. I would have worn it to feel comfort. I remember it smelt like a skin to me; leathery, woody and not the usual ingredients that define a perfume. Often, I sprayed it randomly and not only on my skin, but also on clothes.

    Interesting article. I like the early CdGs so much and there are many more I haven’t sampled yet, if I ever do.

    This was a fun read. Reminds me of what attracted me to niche perfumes waaaaay back.
