Thirteen years, and a perfume

Today my wife and I celebrated our thirteenth wedding anniversary, which in itself is a reason to post this, don't you think? The cliched phrase, 'time flies', does indeed apply. I can still remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. A happy day, to be sure, but how did thirteen years fly by?

My wife gave me a bottle of Jo Malone's Saffron Cologne Intense. I think it is a fairly recent release, so couldn't find many reviews of it, but my initial impression is very favourable. I tried a few from the line when it first came to my town and while I liked them, most seemed to lack longevity, particularly the cologne intense range, which I found a bit odd. Thankfully Saffron has no such issues - I sprayed it on at 9 this morning and I can still experience it quite clearly almost twelve hours later. 

I'll leave you with one thought - I had no real idea what Saffron as a note really smelled like. Smelling Saffron today, I now know what the note is like and realise, somewhat belatedly. that I knew its smell all along, as it is often paired with oud in perfumes. I know I'm stating the obvious, for some of you, but hey, you learn something new every day!

  1. Happy Anniversary, Michael and Wendy!

    Saffron Cologne Intense sounds like a beauty, and I think 13 is an incredibly lucky number - you're incredibly lucky to have found each other. :)

    1. Thank you Cym. 13 is my lucky number, as I was also born on the 13th, a Friday, to be precise! Ha

    1. For me, yes. Some people are terrified of number 13, aren't they!
