I Suppose I Always Will
When I was 16, my girlfriend wore this scent. She was very special. Eventually, we would decide to date other people. We were young. We kept in touch for several years, but after college, I never saw her, or heard from her again.
Thirty years later, as I walked up to stand in line in a book store, a fragrance that I had not smelled in as many years, struck me, and as it did, I immediately said aloud, “Anais Anais”. A pretty young lady in her mid-teens standing in front of me turned, looked at me for a moment, and smiled. I smiled back, silently, only barely resisting the urge to tell her of the rush of emotion, and stirring memories that flooded my mind before I uttered those two words.
It’s amazing how that works; how a fragrance can instantly transport one back to a foregone place, and time, and leave you felling like you had just been with someone you had not seen in many years.
I love this fragrance, and I suppose I always will.
