A Surprise and a Lesson
Wanted to share an experience about my day that has allowed me to grow once again with my brothers. I had shared in an earlier post about an event I had to attend for the first half of the day during which I decided to wear Versace Man Eau FraƮche. My brothers have bade me repeatedly not to be a sissy sprayer. Well, today I decided to spray like a man and here is what happened. In the receiving line my wife and I ran into friends of ours we hadn't seen in a long time because they had relocated. We chatted as we moved along in the line and the man kept leaning in when he spoke to me. He eventually apologized for getting so close but said he really like my cologne, asked me what it was, and said, man, that is some really great stuff! When we left the luncheon that followed we headed to Lowe's to buy a birthday present for a friend's little boy, who was asking for play sand for his sand box. When I went to where they kept it in the store, I saw a sign that said, this item available from the loading zone, so I headed right to the check out counter. The woman who waited on me said hello and asked me why I was coming to the check out counter without anything in my cart. When I explained she said, sir, you have won a prize! You are the first person in the history of our store to respond appropriately to that sign! I said, wow, what did I win? She said you won the privilege of being the first in the history of the store to respond appropriately to that sign. I said, well, that's not much of a prize. She said, well how about this, I don't know what the cologne is that you are wearing right now, but it is incredible! I have to get this for my husband, what is it? So the surprise of the day was that I may have determined that light spraying does tend to keep the compliments from coming and that this frag got to a man as much as it got to a woman, apparently. The lesson I learned was to take the advice of my brothers and not be a sissy sprayer. Because I was generous with the application, this frag continued to project long after I had sprayed it on, negating the application of a second fragrance before my grandson's football game. The best surprise was that his team won their first game of the season and he made a touchdown for the victory!

@Stephen Johnson I sat next to a guy on a flight that sprayed like your GIF... @Mike Penzenik the appropriate amount can vary by fragrance, but a good rule of thumb is if you need to drip dry after you have probably over done it! 😁

Raw Materials - Bergamot
Bergamot, scientifically known as Citrus bergamia, is a citrus fruit primarily grown in Italy's Calabria region. Resembling an orange in size and a lime in color, it is pear-shaped. The fruit's essential oil, extracted from its peel, is used in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy for its refreshing, slightly floral fragrance. Bergamot is the key flavoring in Earl Grey tea and is also used in culinary applications like marmalades and desserts. Additionally, it has traditional medicinal uses due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and mood-enhancing properties. Its essential oil contains compounds such as linalool, linalyl acetate, and bergapten. Bergamot is a prominent ingredient in men's fragrances, prized for its refreshing and sophisticated scent. The essential oil imparts a citrusy, slightly floral aroma that adds brightness and elegance to colognes and aftershaves. Often used as a top note, bergamot provides an initial burst of freshness that is both invigorating and uplifting. Its versatile scent profile blends well with other fragrance components like lavender, cedarwood, and sandalwood, enhancing the complexity and depth of the overall fragrance. The inclusion of bergamot in men's fragrances not only contributes to a clean and crisp olfactory experience but also imparts a timeless and classic appeal, making it a staple in the industry. Smelling my sample of bergamot: Fresh citrus, but not strong orange, more like white-washed orange. It also has a sense of greenery too. The aroma is a blend of bright, citrusy notes and a slightly delicate floral undertone. It's as if the zest of a fresh orange rind has mingled with the subtle sweetness of a blooming flower. There's a crisp, invigorating quality that wakes up my senses, yet it's softened by a hint of warmth that feels comforting and familiar. The scent is both refreshing and elegant, evoking a sense of calmness and natural serenity.… https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Dior/Dior-Homme-Cologne-2022-72062.html

Having spent 30+ years in business, it is time for me to embrace that I am now the "seasoned" guy in the room, and I want to stand out in that crowd!
