These last few months almost everything has had the same smell on it. Whether it’s letters through the post, items bought in the supermarket, anything at all. It’s a very distinctive perfume smell. Doesn’t matter where it was bought or who delivered it, everything smells like this now.


That’s a good call actually. It might just be an air freshener, and those things never smell nice. I’m not really sensitive to smells in general, but I can still smell the one a relative had hanging in his car when I was little, and my nose and eyes are still burning from the aggressive chemical stink.
The use of artificial scents is one of my least favourite things about modern life.
