The Top 10 Most Incredible Smells
Scented Treasures: The Top 10 Most Incredible Smells Every city, let me teach you, has its own smell.” So said E. M. Forster in A Room With A View. As a hobbyist perfumer I am fascinated by smell—particularly the smells of history.It was a precious and rare vial of the 1905 perfume, L’Origan, that decided me on the hobby. I opened the box in which it had been delivered and was immediately enveloped in the scent that led one newspaper reporter to exclaim: “All Paris smells of L’Origan!” The perfume had leaked slightly. It was a moment of ecstasy. I was smelling the world as people long past had smelled it. The men who made this fragrance were now just footnotes on the fading pages of history . . . but this was their legacy and I, now, was a part of it.

To be blue in this history, to be blue in your memory.
Going back in time, i sat with Homer. His stories were as grandiose and tragic as I remembered. Vibrant and beautiful, but they were empty in a way i did not understand. Nonetheless we shared his wine; in-front of a dark and silent ocean.

Island City
On a large river, there is a city. Island City it is historically named. Once a proper little harbor town with a darling main street. Neon lights beckoning the wayfarers to small brothels, speakeasys, brewpubs and bowling alleys.

Run Forrest Run
I had always been searching for something more in my life. I had a feeling that there was something bigger out there for me, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. That's when I heard about Jesus. I had never been particularly religious, but something about the idea of meeting Jesus in person really resonated with me. I knew that I had to find a way to meet him, no matter what it took.

Flowers in the Concrete
Sitting in my room, I offered a passing glance to the light fixture. A reflective, rectangular fixture of bright white that contained a neon bar of LED bulb in it. For a moment there was an ominous candle wax dripping from the chips in the paint. As it hit the floor it began bubbling and raced it’s way to the bed in the corner of my room, almost as if the whole room was tilted towards me. Out of the wax emerged a raven about the size of the twin bed. It hopped sort of playfully towards me, spread its wings and began it’s flight in my direction, getting smaller and smaller with each flap of its wings. I could hear it calling my name though it’s mouth remained closed. I blinked and it was gone. The floor returned to regular linoleum, unstained and without a single burn. I turned to my roommate and he had a look on his face made up of worry and slight disdain. I’ve been trying to get your attention, dick head. The staff called a smoke break. Smoke break? So be it.

A Tiny Start Towards Freedom
The few morning rays crossing over the horizon were enough to fill the space with light and wake me from a deep slumber. The moon sinking in the sky was the first thing catching my eye as I took a long breath and held it in my lungs. This is not a dream anymore, I reassured myself, looking down the long loft space into the living area of my tiny house. A swarm of butterflies rose in my stomach as I quickly pushed away the comforter and pulled a pair of clothes from a nearby bin before descending the ladder.

The Hedge Witch
I met a real-life hedge witch when I was a little girl traveling with my mom from Missouri to Arizona. We stopped at a commune, called ARF somewhere up in New Mexico. She was named ARF because there were so many dogs on the commune. We arrived very late and it was so dark we could bearly see the narrow path with our flashlights. The darkness was so dark it felt suffocating. We made our way through the dense pine trees, finally finding the main house, which is basically a community house where all visitors and people who live on the commune can come temporarily sleep, hang out, eat, and possibly have electricity and running water.
