My Husband’s Skin

I met my husband more than 25 years ago. We met 2 days after my college graduation. We went to the same college but never met there. A common friend introduced us. It was an immediate attraction, but it wasn’t a physical attraction as such. Maybe it was his scent, I don’t know. It’s funny to think of it that way - I never thought of it that way actually.

His scent reminds me of home and of the first time we met. It gives me comfort and makes me feel completely relaxed. It’s a feeling of intimacy and attraction at the same time.

How would I describe the scent? It’s warm, very soft.

If the scent had a sound, what would it be? Debussy: Clair de Lune, soft piano music.

If the scent had a color, what would it be? Gold.

If the scent had a texture, what would it be? The feel of sheep skin.
