Sense: Santa Maria Novella Pot-Pourri
There's something really special about scents. Unlike any of our other senses a whiff of something magical can take you somewhere like a time capsule. The escapism of a scent can rival music. It can take you anywhere you want to go, if only for a brief moment. Walking by a bakery sends you back to the birthday parties of your youth. A perfumed passerby triggers the warmth of love or the heartbreaking loss of it. The smell of the ocean liberates your soul.
Whenever I'm creating there's always a candle burning and music playing. It's just the way it is... An allure, an attraction, a magnetism to where I want to go...
Santa Maria Novella smells like growing up... I don't know if it has to do with the aging process of the herbs and flowers or the time in my life that I became attracted to the fragrance. I have a feeling it has something to do with both... Just my two cents...
