Aquatic, New West, 1988, Tuesday 3

Aquatic is “New West” in 1988, and the figure kept beside it is 1990. This week, smell one scent only, and do not mix several bottles at once. Do not write the bottle’s price as the scent’s worth. The log keeps the name, the year, and the figure. Calone, sea air, wet stone — the 1990s marine idea, still the fastest way to smell like air-conditioning and tide. At the hallway, open Aquatic so the log shows 1988 first, 1990 next, and “New West” beside them.

This week, before you go out, write the scent’s name, the year, and the figure on the first line of the scent log, and read that line once before it touches cloth. When you come home, smell the sleeve and add one line on whether it is the same scent as the log. The order is Aquatic, 1988, 1990, then “New West”. When the collar is done, look again only at 1988 for Aquatic and leave 1990 on the log.

Do not rank scents by a score, and do not write a fashion order in the log. In the hallway, check that the first line of the log and the bottle’s name match, and set the bottle down if they do not. Do not write the bottle’s price as the scent’s worth. The log keeps the name, the year, and the figure. Match New West with 1990 at the hallway before you close 1988 for Aquatic. Aquatic is “New West” in 1988, and the figure kept beside it is 1990.
