She misses the crisp fall air

Posted by Robin on 12 January 2011 6 Comments

Pavia Rosati misses the rain on Second Avenue. She misses the crisp fall air on a busy street. She misses her Hermès perfume, Jardin sur le Nil.

— Ms. Rosati has anosmia. From Missing the Fragrance of Everyday Life, part of the Realm of the Senses series at the New York Times' Lens blog.

    I really hope that Ms. Rosati does get her sense of smell back. It kind of makes you think just how fortunate some of us really are. Hopefully, she finds some comfort in her memories.

    Must bland, if not horrible, for eating.

    Jardin sur le Nil is quite original. How sad.
