four scents that felt like something you didn't mean to leave behind

Vanilla and coffee and something that reads like warm milk left on a low flame. It's the kind of scent that shouldn't work past noon but it does.

Still thinking about this one.

It sits close to skin. Doesn't reach. Just stays.

The set comes with both sizes, which is either nothing or everything depending on whether you travel light. I keep the small one in a coat pocket. The larger one hasn't moved from the nightstand in weeks.

Sweet but not loud. Vanilla that doesn't perform.

Wood and something fresh underneath, something you notice only when you stop thinking about it. There's a sweetness that doesn't announce itself.

I kept coming back to it before I could explain why I kept reaching for it over the others.

Rose that doesn't feel like trying. Fresh and a little marine, like you walked somewhere near water and the air followed you back inside.

Light enough for an ordinary Tuesday. Stays longer than you expect it to.
