He remembers the scent of flowers, even when he wakes.
It is a muted, fading sort of memory - the softness is there, the sweetness; but now with musky, musty overtones, like the pages of a well-loved book threatening to succumb to dust. (Where you may not know the story inside, may not dare to touch the pages for fear of them crumbling, but you can understand enough from simply the cover alone and the set of the spine.)
And the more he tries to hold to it, the more it slips away, like the petals themselves floating on the wind.
