Early Spring
It does not hit you right away. You see the bright yellow-gold happy blooms (daffodils), and the subdued whitenesses in juxtaposition; And it's not until you're on the other side of the room that you notice the smell right by the microwave where you expect to encounter the savoury scents of a warming meal... Sudden and abrupt, hints of jasmine, mingled with ylang, perhaps some magnolia, but from flowers (the whitenesses) i cannot identify.
Pungent.
Incongruous.
As if the column of scent rose high above the flowers themselves and cast itself in an umbrella-like cascade over a halo of scentless space protecting the blooms and spreading the fragrance to the furthest reaches of the room.
