human cheerfulness? - Wanted!
Do you know that feeling?
You smell a perfume on someone and from then on, you associate that person with that scent for all eternity? And every time you catch a whiff of it somewhere, you think your buddy is somewhere in the crowd, brightening people's spirits with his presence?
Wanted by Night is such a scent. It would be absurd if my buddy suddenly switched from mandarin to fig, plum, or bergamot.
It's often the same with cocktails. A guest orders the same cocktail all night long. He is the cocktail.
Personally, I would find that too monotonous, but the kindergarten kid you liked back then always had unbuttered toast with thick butter and Nutella - and was not allowed to bring anything else - not even a liverwurst sandwich or one with Gouda, on good days. No! Stick with what suits you.
A signature scent - at least for my buddy. One of many who doesn't care much for variety - maybe that's better? Perhaps we are no longer so easily associated with each other, with all the richness of facets we constantly engage in, because we get bored too quickly and constantly demand change, new entertainment, and different stimuli. You no longer know who is standing next to you in the crowd, even if you expand the crowd with your presence. So the person is also, in that moment - not there.
So - you, my buddy. Stick with the cocktail all night, be the scent I like so much on you.
