i bought it when i lived in canada, just a tiny vile of it, called commodity: gold. it was juniper berries, vanilla, amber, sandal wood and musk. i wore it as i explored the rocky mountains, made friends in the snow, experiencing a sense of freedom i’d never felt before.
i loved it so much and little did i know it would all be gone when i landed back in australia. slowly leaking into a random makeup bag during the 15 hour flight.
i haven’t bought it since, i don’t know why. i think i’m scared that if i smell it again i will miss that time in my life, where i was far away from everything in my life, surrounded by canadian snow.
