Scent reverie

[carmenbeaudry]

Imagine, if you will, a top note of spearmint.  Not the nasty toothpaste scent, but like the one released when you pass a bed of mint and brush your hand over it.  Immediately under that, the best dark Jamaican rum with tabac blonde following close behind.  The base is elusive, a dry, woodsy note, not as warm as sandalwood nor as resiny as cedar, but very lovely.

That was what the gentleman sitting next to me on the bus smelled like. I reckon in his case it was a combination of cologne, chewing gum and pipe tobacco, but I think it would make a lovely perfume, or room scent.

I've actually heard it said that that tracery was an artistic interpretation of smoke from an opium pipe.
