His scent hit me first—before his voice, before his grip on her arm. Sharp pineapple and bergamot slice through the air like a warning. Then the smoke: birch tar and patchouli, like charred wood and old leather, dark and unapologetic. Underneath, warm musk and ambergris curl around me like a threat disguised as invitation—something primal, addictive, wrong. I hated it instantly. Hated how it clinged to my senses, how it made my pulse stutter even as I glared at him. Hated that hours later, in my office, I still caught faint traces of it on my sleeve where he touched—and I can’t decide whether to burn the fabric or press it to her face and inhale.

The steady, clean scent of a place where every bottle had a place and every place had a label. I set the bag on the third bench, peeled the top open, and started laying out what I’d bought. Hibiscus. Sandalwood. Wolfbane. Two packets of dried roots labeled wrong that I relabeled right. Mira hovered on the other side of the bench until I pointed to the stool. “Sit,” I said. “You don’t touch anything until I say.” She sat. She didn’t touch anything. “Gloves,” I said. She slid them on. “Like this?”

I exhaled when I found out he was still in his clothes but was just preparing the bath. The fine fragrance from whatever he was mixing in the bathtub hit my nose as I inhaled deeply. "I bought the fragrance from India, it's just one of its kind, it helps strengthens the body, nourishes the body, and gives one a smooth skin, I bought it just for you" he said while looking at my direction as I smiled. "Thank you" I said not knowing how else to thank him, I could have just called him a pet name but I'm not used to it.

Evangeline hands me a small pewter tin with forget me nots delicately engraved on the dulling lid. I opennthe tin to discover a sticky, brown balm which I rub under my nose as instructed. It feels cold and slimy, but I instantly have a clearer head and feel my energy flooding back into me, so it is a price worth paying. When Evangeline looks up from her stooped position plucking the offending flowers from the ground and filling her apron pockets, she tries to hide her smile. I know, I must look ridiculous. “Better?” she asks, stifling a laugh.

I just needed to pick up some supplies I was running low on for my daily ritual. As I entered the store, the scent hit me like a ton of bricks. They had to be close. My heart started pounding, and my hands became sweaty. I did my best to clear my head and get what I came here for. I was deciding whether or not I wanted to buy some more incense when he came up behind me. “You should try sandalwood,” a smooth baritone voice said. Not ready to turn around and meet him yet, I responded, “Only if I want my home to smell like a wood shop.”

“Wild ginseng of above fifty years old, Ganoderma mushrooms of above twenty years old, Aleuritopteris grass, seven-leaves lotuses, and musks. If possible, for the first two ingredients, the older, the better. That’s all you need, so can you get off my back now?” Waltz turned her eyes as if she was trying to remember the ingredients’ names. Then, she copped a feel of Alex’s nether region as she chuckled before releasing her grasp on him. “Senior, I heard that you are still a virgin even after marrying Dorothy Assex. I was skeptical at first, but not anymore! It’s so incredible!”

Then, she continued to enjoy her tea. Harvey looked at the incense burner in front of her with interest and noticed that the one they were using should be the Six-Paths Fragrance again. When Lune noticed Harvey's gaze, he whispered, "Someone from Servitas sent over another coil of Six-Paths Fragrance. This is supposed to be from their best batch, but after what happened last time, Mr. Geoffrey has stopped using it. But Ms. Neve seems very upset with what happened last time, so she was waiting here to enjoy her tea and fragrance, trying to shame you."

I just saw it and thought it was perfect, so I bought it. I have the biggest smile on my face looking at one book of so many songs some I already know how to play some I don't. It's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten hands down. She still hasn't opened her gift, and I am curious why so I look at her and raise my eyebrow kind of questionly, and she shrugs like she isn't sure. Then she opens the bag, pulls out the paper, and then the bottle of perfume. She sprays it on her wrist sniffs it and says "oh its mint smells nice thank you" She does that with all the perfumes i got her three iroiclly since i didnt really pay attenion one was lavender one was mint and the last was fruity.
