With the catapult into the teenage age
Yes, Extase Musk was my first real scent. At least the first one I bought myself. After grade 8 I changed the school from a village grammar school to the city. What a culture shock! In the new school, most of my classmates came from "good homes" and the money was very easy for many. You've already been looked at crooked if you weren't wearing expensive brand clothes or - how embarrassing that is! - in dialect. I had to go through between 14 and 16 years and God knows that wasn't always easy for me.
To the smell: I discover this on a birthday party of one of my cousins. A girl from the neighbourhood smelled so irresistible that I naturally asked her what a beautiful fragrance it was. Simply wonderfully sweet, round and powerful. Nothing elegant, madam-like, but rather knitted for simple noses like my teenage nose at the time. In spite of all power and Sillage however also fine-clean and cuddly. Nothing in the direction of KL that my mother wore at that time and with which I could literally be hunted as a teenager. The answer was Extase Musk and on my next visit to Schlecker in my town (yes, it still existed ;)) a 30ml bottle was mine. I had scents before. Benetton Colors and Oilily, whom I knew from my schoolmates and had bought from them, but this one was MY, because at my school only I smelled like this :)
In my environment I received many compliments from friends, as well as from the first cautious approaches with boys. The fact that the fragrance was super cheap and therefore easy for students to acquire did not bother me at all at that time. On the contrary. Even the girls, who got really expensive fragrances from their parents at home, asked their mum to sniff at me and then followed the question whether mum might not also buy them this fragrance. Well, I have to smile today. :)
At some point my mother gave me my first bottle of Chopard Casmir, which I had fallen in love with since it was on the market. From then on I wore the ecstasy muscle less often, but I still liked to sniff the bottle and enjoy the beautiful memories. I think he would catapult me straight back into my teenage years today if he still existed. It's a scent I remember with great pleasure. And that was a good one. Today's drugstore fragrances can't do that anymore. At least I don't know any yet
