Oriental amber, Youth Dew, 1953, Tuesday 68

Oriental amber is “Youth Dew” in 1953, and the figure kept beside it is 1953. 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. Amber, vanilla, balsam — the warm resinous night that designer and niche still treat as the definition of evening. At the hallway, open Oriental amber so the log shows 1953 first, 1953 next, and “Youth Dew” 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 Oriental amber, 1953, 1953, then “Youth Dew”. When the collar is done, look again only at 1953 for Oriental amber and leave 1953 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 Youth Dew with 1953 at the hallway before you close 1953 for Oriental amber. Oriental amber is “Youth Dew” in 1953, and the figure kept beside it is 1953.
