TJ’s Household Haiku

A little unguent bottle I bought at the Vanves Second hand market in Paris. It may well be ancient Roman! If not, it is a very good copy.

Familiar Perfume

Lingering in the night air

Conjure a lost dream

Prompt words: Perfume and Lost

Have you ever suddenly smelt a scent that generates a wonderful, vivid memory of a time from your past? Smell, it seems, is capable of triggering the recall of a whole experience which you may have well forgotten.

My travel tip for anyone going to new places is to buy a new perfume (or aftershave) and only wear it for the first time on your trip. When you return, every time you use the remainder it will dredge up wonderful feelings.

Many thanks to those who joined in last week’s prompts of TJ’s Household Haiku of “Leaf and Look”.
