something about a scent that settles before you do

The linen pouch it comes in is almost too quiet a detail. But it matches the scent exactly - soft, considered, the kind of thing you notice two hours later rather than immediately.

Wore it on a nothing Tuesday.

Something about the Supremacy line - it carries itself with a kind of restraint that's unusual for anything with the word luxury in the description. Woody and oriental, but not heavy the way that reads as trying.

I kept coming back to it.

Fruity and woody sounds like a contradiction until it isn't. This one resolves the tension quietly, the fruit falling back within the first half hour until what's left is just skin and warmth.

which is either nothing or everything.
