A bone-dry sandalwood scent, like copper wires entangled in an old radio.

It smells like summer during childhood. Water heated by the hot sun in a green rubber hose or the scent of an indoor pool.

Wet dried jasmine and orchid flowers dipped in leftover coffee, spiced with cedrat.

Delicate rosy petals embrace warm musk and the fresh breeze of salt water.

A pocketful of incense and desert dirt. It’s surrounded by the sandy Texas landscape, juicy cacti, and a cowboy hat resting on your head.
