Snow:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down —
the blizzard
drifts its weight
deeper and deeper for three days
or sixty years, eh? Then
the sun! a clutter of
yellow and blue flakes —
Hairy looking trees stand out
in long alleys
over a wild solitude.
The man turns and there —
his solitary track stretched out
upon the world.
– William Carlos Williams
A solitary track stretched out upon the world: grey amber and white oud, ti leaf, vanilla ash and white sandalwood.

Picture it: You are visiting a town with small shops on the main stretch. You enter the warmly lit door with the bakery sign. You stand there drinking in the ambience of the glowing wooden counter & tables where people sit drinking hot beverages with pastries in front of them. The heat from the ovens mixed with the smell of fresh chocolate crossiants is intoxicating. Even after you have purchased and eaten four treats you can still smell the fragrant crumbs clinging to your hands.
This is a soft scent, the kind you have to get close to to really investigate. It’s not overly sweet but it does have that warm baked good note lingering around. I am enamored with this!
