Strange similarities

This is the story behind. About five years agos I was absolutely obsessed with Agent Provocateur's parfum. I couldn't justify buying it myself but since Christmas was near I made up a "plan". Usually my "plans" tend to be subtle - well, that one was not. From December 1st to December 23rd I told nearly everyone around me at least one time a day about this perfume. I know! What can I say? I was obsessed! Thinking about that now, I guess, simply begging would have been niftier ... Long story short, I got it for Christmas and was beyond stoked! And then it all went wrong.

I still like the smell but that's it. My first time using it ended in a very bad allergic reaction which in retrospect I blame on the hydrocarbons. I used it a few times afterwards but the allergic reaction still occured. So I had a 100 ml pink porcelain bottle and couldn't use it and some male friends pointed out weird similarities. :(

* pig's stomach - I'll spare you a picture, but well, it's actually plausible.
* hand grenade - girly edition *rolls eyes*

My adventure came to an end one year later when I sold it via ebay the next Christmas. Nevertheless I still smile remembering the whole story, just too grotesque ...

Did you ever run after one thing and ended up getting rid of it later?

Have a great evening!
