Reminiscent of the good times...
I unexpectedly came across the warm scent of cucumber-melon during work. Since there are no ‘Bath & Body Works’ in Korea, it was a lovely surprise. It turns out, one of my coworkers lived in the States and brought back a whole stash of it - so I took the pleasure of lathering my skin with it, and indulging in the fond memories.
I use a different scented lotion/perfume every year, and I recommend all of you to do this. Scent is a strong device for recollection. Whenever I come across a previously-used scent, all the fond memories come flooding by and makes my heart beat. It is truly wonderful.
The history of scents I have used:
9th grade - Polo sports woman
10th grade - CK one
11th grade - Hugo woman
12th grade - CK be
Freshman - cucumber melon
Sophomore - Victoria secret, strawberry
Japan - nina ricci
Present - johnsons baby lotion - jasmine
Cucumber melon was the scent of my favorite year, freshman year in college - the last year I could expose all my frivolity and still be considered cute - the year when I met so many amazing people, most of whom gradually drifted away - and the year when I reached the peak of my popularity. I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years. It’s heartbreaking to think I will never get the same excitements as I did back then.
