Since memories triggered by scent are the strongest... Send my muse a scent and see how they’ll react to it.I do not “snuggle” animals.
But I enjoy the scent of dogs, actually. Dogs smell like they understand you.
And yes, I wore perfume. Santa Maria Novella, from the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. You can still buy it today in the original store in Firenze, Italia.
Once, on a ‘vacation’ of sorts after his time on the chapel floor, I took Lestat there and told him to smell the signature scent. I was quite shocked at his reaction—he broke down weeping at the smell.
