God, bless my mother I love her
Marked as a meme just because it’s funny.
My family knows that I’m a bit of a cologne snob and I request colognes all the time (celebrations/birthdays/christmas and the like) as a gift. Two past years’ Christmas I was gifted colognes on top of colognes and told I couldn’t ask for anything until I finished them all. Well last week I opened my final gift bag and beholden I’m blessed with a core men’s collection SAVAGE extrait from my mother. Not a EDP or EDT just an extract probably from TikTok’s but no I’m not ungrateful.
It smells practically the same as Sauvage Dior and granted she knows very little about these things so I love her all the more for it. I made the joke to her that it is a “odd find” and that it’s notoriously known as the man-wh*re cologne. She’d said she’d known and the fact that she tried to look into colognes when I know she doesn’t care for them or knows a lick of the lingo means all the more to me.
This bottle here will mean more to me than any cologne that’s been gifted or that I’ve bought beyond memory and preference. I’d wish it never ran out just off her sentiment.
Sorry if this is the wrong Reddit I just love how she didn’t have a clue but got me the closest thing she could find.
(For context my mother is Spanish speaking with very little English knowledge and nothing further than HS diploma but the woman tries her best in anything for me or my siblings)
