feldman: (trelawny)

Looking over my notes there're a lot of color and texture words that are experiential, not poetic. There is definitely something plum purple and mineral green about BPAL's Apothecary (not plum fruit, just the color). I'm not used to actually thinking about scent, and then putting it into words, which is problematic in doing any kind of review--my notes function mainly to remind myself of the scent.

Which is a question I'd like to throw out there: how many here can recall scents when you're not smelling them? I can, but the spouse cannot--however, he's a hundred times better at identifying scents, as in, "there's a hint of rosemary in this". I find the ability to verbally identify scents magical.
