Hello Cassie,

this captured me when I first read it. The description of an aroma that holds more that just scent. It has attached itself to a bunch of memories. The way you describe the cologne as 'cloying' was genius. The alliteration was a perfect way to leave a 'sticky' smell in the readers mind. You achieved this and more.

Well done,

Take care,

Michael

As Michael says, this captured me straight away; it is so rich in description like so much of your work. I could almost smell it myself at the end there!
All the best and stay well,
Ben
