I used to work in fragrancing so I know my top notes from my bottom notes. I also know that the most loved scents are the ones you can't capture in a can or a bottle.
The smell of new books. A newborn baby. A new car. That indescribable mix of sun, seaspray, sand and suntan oil that screams "beach".
And one of my personal favorites, the smell when you open your luggage after a trip from the States. Yes, it even comes from 'balikbayan' boxes.
David is American so I had some trouble explaining this to him in the beginning. Now that he has been in Manila for over 4 years, his nose has gotten acclimated to Manila pollution and is better able to discern that fresh air from the USA that manages to sneak in enclosed luggage spaces and 'balikbayan' boxes.
Now, when his mom sends 'balikbayan' boxes filled with goodies for Charly, we all gather around for the 'grand opening' and collectively get a whiff of that 'stateside' scent.
Ahh. Now if only we could bottle that scent and sell it.
