Oh Helen, what a lovely, sense evocative read! Scents of the seasons are something I appreciate often. Such a brilliant idea you have to sum up a month and bottle them like so—just brilliant! xo

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. All credit to the wonderful Beth Kempton for the writing prompt!

This is lovely and takes me back to making summer "perfumes" as a child, gathering petals into a jar of rainwater. Thank you for reminding me of the word petrichor too.

Ah, thanks for reading Kore, and for taking the time to comment. I used to make those "perfumes" too - though mine were never very successful and always ended up as a brown mush!

Oh yes, mine were the same!
