Scent Spiral

You start with one fragrance and think that’s the end of it. Then you catch something on someone across the room and suddenly you’re deep in it, testing samples, reading about accords and base notes you didn’t know existed. Scent does something to you that other things don’t. It stays with you all day, changing as it settles into your skin, becoming part of your presence. It’s completely irrational. Your closet doesn’t need another fragrance. But you’re ordering the sample anyway.
