… which, basically, is much more of a sequel to the original than the original sequel to the original was. Alright?

Today, I had too much time on my hands. So I decided to keep on fighting and try another parfumerie. I was the only customer. Around four clerks were standing together. I asked for Bogner Wood. Silence. The clerks look surprised. “Well … that’s strange today. There have been three other persons asking for the same perfume …”

But of course, they didn’t have Bogner at all. They pointed me to yet another parfumerie.

I went there. I asked. They looked stunned. “We just sold our last bottles today.” I couldn’t believe my ears. I was so close …

“You want it for yourself?” the boss of the shop suddenly asked. “Yes, of course” – “Do you know it?” – “Yeah, I know it, I just needed two years to decide myself if I want to buy it. And now, I’m not able to get it anymore.” – “Well …”

He reaches behind the counter and produces a flacon. “It’s the tester. Bogner Wood is no longer produced, we won’t need it anymore. You can have it, if you like.”

Of course I liked. I got my Bogner Wood for free! Oh, rejoice, heavens!

Well, to be honest, not quite free. Of course I had to try a possible replacement, “very special, with patchouli, which is very new for a men’s fragrance, which might be right for you, you know”, wink, wink, “hard shell, soft core” – yeah, right.

Just try BlackXS, and you’ll smell like a fruit bowl. Yikes. I’ve got nothing against fairly sweet fragrances, but there are limits …
