THE GIFT OF AN AUGUST NIGHT











Inside "lemons from Italy, Bergamot 
and Scented Geranium all invade the air. 
Suddenly it's the calm after the storm. 
A delicious, warm, sweet and slightly powdery mist 
rises from the cobblestones..." 

(yup, you can smell those fragrant Astier de Villatte goodies
just by reading the descriptions 
and throwing in a drop of imagination 
 for good measure). 











And outside, after climbing to the balcony 
between the seventh and eighth floors,
filling one's lungs
with the warm, milky air of the night,
the city all hushed below,
suddenly disguised into a dreamworld. 

And there we have it,
- a passing, soft waft
of those perfect August nights
that I idolise throughout the year...
even though it's officially September.

Sorry it's been a hard start, Nines dear...
And hope things mellow down quickly ♡.
Recently I've been consciously trying to focus more
on fragrance and the feelings and memories they evoke...
I think the sense of smell often gets ignored too much.
Wonderful that you can imagine the smells... x
