平凡的日子過久了，偶爾會覺得有點悶。好像生活一定要有些什麼特別的事情發生，才配得上「幸福」這兩個字。

八角茴香的香氣，剛好是屬於平凡的那一種。溫暖甘甜的茴香，墊著淡淡木質調，尾端還有一絲微妙的鹹香。像家裡那鍋慢火燉着的滷肉，也像新年時桌上那盤瓜子。

最踏實的幸福，未必需要用昂貴的代價去換取。平凡的日常，本來就已經很好了。

以香為語，安在當下。

After enough ordinary days in a row, life can start to feel a little stifling, as though something remarkable would have to happen before it deserved to be called happiness.

The scent of star anise belongs to exactly that kind of ordinary. A warm, sweet anise note rests on a faint woodiness, with a subtle, savoury edge trailing at the end — like the pot of braised meat simmering slowly at home, or the plate of melon seeds set out on the table at New Year.

The most grounded kind of contentment rarely needs to be bought at great cost. An ordinary day, just as it is, was already enough.

Grounded in the present, spoken through scent.
