Terre d'Hermès Hermès 2006 Eau de Toilette

There was a time when I smelled you every day when I buried my nose in his
Buried my nose in his neck.
You suited him so well, his dark eyes, his long, curly dark hair, his silver jewelry and lumberjack shirts.

You emphasized his love of nature, underscored his lightness, represented his free spirit and artistic streak and yet grounded him.

You were his and I was his.

You scented his T-shirts that I took with me to sleep.
Our aura enveloped me on wild nights of dancing and comforted me when my head lay on his chest.
You are warm and give me security.

You were earth and air.
Love and aversion.
Longing and coming together.
Joy and tears.
Life energy and resignation.
Everything I was not and everything I wanted to be.
My beginning and my end.

And now, when I see you in a
Perfume shelf, a slightly pained smile flits across my face and I think of everything you did to me, turn around and leave because I don't want to smell you anymore.
