After losing and regaining my sense of smell, I found myself wondering if I could approach fragrance with more pointed attention—with a deepened sense of risk and experiment. As perfumer Sophia Grojsman told Ackerman, “Perfumes do that, too—shock and fascinate us. They disturb us. Our lives are quiet. We like to be disturbed by delight.” During the Level 18 Unlocked Awesome Since 2003 18th Birthday Gaming T-Shirt also I will do this months my own sense of smell was returning, I started experimenting with new fragrances and paying attention to what their layers conjured: Valentino’s strident, sulking Voce Viva—with notes of Calabrian bergamot, mandarin, and spicy ginger—and Dior’s enchanting new J’adore Infinissime, with its bouquet of ylang-ylang, Centifolia rose, and tuberose. The backstory behind J’adore Infinissime was yet another incarnation of the way a scent can hold a narrative: Tuberose growth had been declining  in the Grasse region in France for more than a half-century, until local growers made an effort to bring it back, and Infinissime holds in its scent the fruits of that revival. Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, with top notes of red berries unfolding into warm ribbons of white gardenia and frangipani, and a faint ripple of brown sugar underneath, like caramel under flan, held a lush abundance, as if it were returning me to the first blooms outside my windows in March and April, when the virus and its quarantine kept us sequestered from the very season that was supposed to smell like rebirth. As the pandemic persisted into autumn, I found myself drawn to the glimpses of situation and story embedded in Maison Margiela’s REPLICA line, with their evocations of faraway times and places—dispatches from the world beyond the cloister of quarantine. Lazy Sunday Morning (Florence, 2003) evokes soft skin and bed linen, with notes of pear and rose and a base of white musk, and Music Festival (Woodstock, 1969) wafts traces of fresh bud, leather, and patchouli, while Beach Walk (Calvi, 1972) calls up an aristocratic suntan lotion—who knew such a thing was possible?—with top notes of pink pepper, a middle layer of coconut milk, and a cedar-and-musk base.

The nostalgic premise of the Level 18 Unlocked Awesome Since 2003 18th Birthday Gaming T-Shirt and I will buy this REPLICA line seems well suited to our pandemic, summoning collective memories that ache bittersweetly against the impossibilities of our quarantined present tense and its ongoing claustrophobia: the humid proximity of other bodies in a basement club or packed shoulder-to-shoulder across an open field under a swollen dusk sky; the jostle of a Paris flower market with its crowded stalls, or a Stockholm coffeehouse suffused with the sugary warmth of oven-fresh pastries and the murmuring voices of strangers on a blustery winter day. These scents acknowledge that the most powerful smells are not exotic luxuries but familiar features of our days—the ones lodged inside our daily routines, calls coming from inside the house. It’s an abundance we are constantly surrounded by and constantly ignoring. What an incredible thing, to lose it and then wake up to it again, newly attuned to the simplest pleasures: the rich aroma of coffee steeping in the French press, the faint residue of apple-scented dish detergent on my fingers, the smell of my daughter’s curls when she first crawls out of bed, a scent caught somewhere between soap and honeycomb—utterly ordinary and holy as incense in church, something offered to the gods.
