Cool reflection... But... Is not a perfume like putting on a fake identity? If philosophy is about peeling illusions and confronting the true raw of existence I'm pretty sure all of those people will all smell like old books and tobacco... Hey but I love the romanticism of the essay!

Your ability to personify fragrance into a friend (or maybe a foe..) is truly extraordinary. Love your writing and takes.

Beautiful reflections <3 Currently wearing Valaya while reading A Breath of Life. I loved your sentence "both remind us that the past is never truly gone— only waiting to be revisited."
