Something to bring me back to baseline

Ambre Sultan by Serge LutensSerge LutensAmbre Sultan4.1184 ratings

Dating in your 30s, at least for me, is a strange experience. I'm more than content with my single life - my work, my hobbies, my routines - and the thought of bringing someone into all of that can feel a little daunting. Communication needs to feel effortless, silences peaceful, and the whole thing should leave me feeling energised rather than depleted. I'm wary of who I let into my life, but tonight... well, tonight felt easy. Maybe a little too easy.

I'm back home now feeling like a teenager again, which is both a wonderfully lovely feeling and, if I'm honest, a little frightening. That familiar sense of excitement, anticipation, and "oh God, are we doing this... again?" And yet, despite all the overthinking, I think the answer is yes. I think I do want to do this.

Anyway, I need something to level me out tonight - something I know intimately, something reassuringly familiar, something that feels like coming home to a place I've never even been.

Ambre Sultan is that guy - dense, rich, resinous goodness, that to my nose, and to that of many others, remains the definitive amber scent even three decades after its release. Gorgeous stuff.

    Heyyyyy, get it homie!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Glad to hear it went well! I really need to give this stuff a try on skin. I think I'm starting to develop more of a taste for amber-focused fragrances recently.

      Let's see how this one goes! I'm a massive cynic when it comes to dating haha, but always open to a pleasant surprise. Ambre Sultan has such a scrumptious amber accord - once the opening herbaceousness wears off, it'll probably feel familiar to countless others you've tried, but when it comes to that pure, resinous, vanillic (but not overly sweet) style of amber, it's hard to match.

    I was also a massive cynic when it came to dating until I met my husband a few years agoโ€ฆour first date was suspiciously โ€œeasyโ€ as well..happy for you ๐Ÿ˜Š

      It's such a refreshing feeling! ๐Ÿ˜Œ

    If it feels good, go with it. Whether that's fragrance or a dating experience. Although age might feel like a big issue right now, it's but a number

      Solid advice indeed!
