Sillage

I am not in habit of observing people neither their minute details nor noticing them.

I am a common man and probably the ignorant one.

What anyone wear, what someone do is not my cup of coffee.

But yes I think in some different angles about the humans. I can recognize them through their unique fragrance.

And yes this is all about for me to understand them.

Like a hummer left its mark in the deserts during off road racing.

Like the people left their footprints on the beaches as their evidence of arrival.

Like the smoke of chain-smoker portraying his existence.

Like a Petrichor as a clue of rain.

Like a crime scene screaming about the identity of a murderer.

Like a shirt drenched with blood depicts the brutal murder in the street.

Same is the case for the scents.

They show their presence.

They show the class of their wearer.

I can feel different perfumes from the humans.

Some are as delicate as like lavender and violets.

They attract me. They hit on my heart. And freaking out

As I dampen my soul with the shower of them.

As I am chandelier lighting the whole room.

As I am whisky straight and strong.

Some are so complicated that I don’t even a have chance to feel them.

So heuristic and deep.

I sense myself in a superstitious trap.

Some are black ones

The unsolved mysteries.

As awful as the smell of Compost.

I cannot resist such odors from the humans.

The series of negative vibes.

Some others are so repugnant and stale that even I question myself.

Do any one have this one too?

They are like rotten burned flesh.

And the last but the only one the scent which I never smell like before.

This one has no competitor.

No challenger.

I think no words to describe this aroma

Lets try to explain it

It’s like a branded exotic piece

As soon as I smell it, it’s penetrating in my lungs.

I am fainted.

It’s masculine

Earthy, sensual, soft, harmonious.

Light airy fresh in blue sky and after-rain dewy scent.

Making me fly.

It actually follow the law of diffusion

The more I smell the more it diffuses into my body.

I keep this one my in broken necklace closer to my heart/

In an old picture in my ripped jean.

People ask me what is this

And with an awkward silence

I am just able to say

Nothing

But a strong Sillage.
