Sometime in 2011 or 2012, I bought a Jo Malone perfume. This is a brand that specializes in interesting, unusual scent combinations. I really loved my scent but then, for a variety of reasons, I moved on and didn’t buy from this brand again.
Then last November I passed by a Jo Malone stand in Montreal and saw that they had new, attractive fragrances. I went over many of them and chose one that I really liked. N gave it to me for Christmas.
Today I was looking for something and found the old bottle from my 2011 Jo Malone perfume. It was the exact same scent I selected 12 years later.
There were all those options but, without wanting to, I went with the same old one. I’m telling you, people, I have a rigid, rigid brain that needs to get exercised to avoid getting completely ossified.
