In 1913, brothers Mario Prada and Martino Prada established the iconic Italian fashion house, Prada. They had started the business with their last name. It was a leather goods shop in Milan, Italy, which gradually became one of the most famed and powerhouse fashion houses globally.

I am a man who gets bored with things very quickly. To spice things up and entertain me, I constantly change and tweak items around myself. It could be a painting, a plant or even a piece of furniture. This time, it happened to be my perfume. I got bored of my current scent after having been using the same one for nearly three months. As a result, I ended up checking out new fragrances online and ordering the Y Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent on a whim.

Nobody wants to end up in the doghouse. Yet, I almost ended up in there when I forgot my wife’s birthday. I was saved, all thanks to my daughter. She was planning a surprise party and asked for my advice. I did not let on that I forgot the special occasion. But, now, I was frantically looking for a gift that could appease my wife. Asking around my female co-workers and wives of some good friends, I finally struck the lightning. Coco Mademoiselle for Women made by Chanel.

I was fretting a lot about getting something for my better half for his birthday. Finally, after a lot of thoughtful thinking and nail-biting sessions, I decided to get an Armani fragrance. Who does not like their men in Armani? Nobody!

If you have a child, you are probably all too familiar with that experience where your little one grabs a random item off a shelf and refuses to let it go. You end up having to buy the object, which ended up fascinating them so that they do not scream their lungs out. That is how I ended up with a 40 ml bottle of Polo Black by Ralph Lauren. The brand’s logo ended up enthralling my two years old son because he loves horses.

It was a couple of years ago when I used to smell a scent everywhere I went. It was in the shopping malls, elevators, corridors, doctor’s visits, university hallway, and dormitories. Surprisingly, even on the stands in our local stadium. Such was its widespread use. It was really fascinating, yet I was shy to ask women about their perfume. I thought people would find it weird and think I am a creep.
