I get three basic responses: “Smells like vanilla”; “Smells like flowers” and “Smells like soap” . . . sometimes I wonder if he’s really got it right and I’m just fooling myself into thinking there’s more to the game when it’s actually that simple:
“I smell jasmin, and honeysuckle, and white musk, and grey amber, and tobacco, and bees wax, and violet leaf, and dill weed, and roses, and iris root, and hay, and cedar wood, and tonka bean, and cistus, and myrrhe, and . . . “ — god, whatever. Shut up!
