重拾你本來的氣息

只是靜下來，才聞得見。

我們總是習慣在自己身上加東西。

一層香水，一個頭銜，

一種「在別人眼中更好的樣子」。

以為疊得越多，越接近那個理想的自己。

有時候，讓人停下來的，

不是那些張揚的香氣，

而是某個人走過之後，

空氣裡留著的那個暖。

說不清楚是什麼，

卻移不開。

那是黃葵籽的氣息。

甜暖、粉柔，帶著生命的體溫，

在香水的世界裡，它是最接近人體氣息的存在。

調香師愛它，不只因為它美，

而是因為它讓所有香氣，都更像「你的」。

它不是在添加什麼。

它是在認出什麼。

也許我們一直在找的那個自己，

從來沒有走遠過。

只是被太多東西蓋住了，

靜下來，才聞得見。

以香為語，安在當下。

Return to the scent that was always yours

Only in stillness does it become clear.

We are used to adding things onto ourselves.

A layer of perfume, a title,

a version of ourselves that looks better in other people's eyes.

As if the more we stack on, the closer we come to who we hope to be.

Sometimes, what makes someone pause

is not the loudest fragrance in the room,

but the quiet warmth

someone leaves behind in the air after they have passed.

You cannot quite name it,

yet you cannot look away.

That is the scent of ambrette seed.

Sweet, warm, and softly powdery, carrying the temperature of a living body,

it is, in the world of perfume, the closest thing to human scent itself.

Perfumers love it not only for its beauty,

but because it makes every fragrance feel more like yours.

It does not add anything.

It simply recognizes what is already there.

Perhaps the self we have been searching for

never wandered far at all.

It was only covered by too many things.

In stillness, it becomes clear again.

Grounded in the present, spoken through scent.
