A scent story / Note 02

A place returns, unnamed.

The scent of a place can arrive before the memory. A study in three intervals.

해안 창가에 놓인 Between Coasts 유리 향수병 콘셉트

Some places return with the air.

There is a moment before recognition. Before the name of a town, the number of a room, the face of someone waiting. A place comes back as cold air, salt on linen, the wood of a temporary room.

Between Coasts is an imagined fragrance for that interval. Bergamot peel and wet metal give way to white tea, salt linen and pale iris. Cedar, worn leather and dry musk are what remain. These are working notes, not a finished formula.

The vessel holds the same idea in glass. A familiar form, interrupted by an angled base: the mark left after the tide. A container for distance, waiting to be filled.

Vessel 001 — a conceptual visualization. Formula pending.
There is no destination in the formula. Only the distance left on the body.
