Well, after much debating (a $50 Macy's gift card for my b-day helped, too), I decided to bite the bullet and get Fleur du Male. I got it on Wednesday, but my nose didn't return to normal until today, as I had a virus. (The fact that Basenotes was down for a while didn't help, either.) So, today, I spritzed on the Fleur du Male. Guess what... I liked it!
But still, it reminded me of something... some sort of soap, to be exact. Then, it came to me that I was smelling the scent of Spirit soap, a soap that was made by the Dial Corporation (the makers of Dial soap, which is now part of Henkel) that was discontinued about a decade ago. I loved the scent of it... too bad people preferred to be Zestfully clean or Caressed before they dressed. But I'm glad I can sniff it again, albeit in longer-lasting eau de toilette form.
Has anyone else here had another memory of consumer products gone by, rekindled by a certain fragrance?
