Nº 01 · Cam Breeze · Green grass & honeysuckle
Some memories arrive on the air. Reed diffusers and room sprays that carry the river, the gardens and the quiet of old libraries into your home.
“We remember a place by its smell — cut grass by the river, roses after rain, the dust of an old reading room.”

Where it began
Walking through a Cambridge park with my son, I caught the smell of warm grass and honeysuckle — and suddenly he was small again, running ahead of me on the same paths. We remember the places of our lives by their scents. I wanted to bottle a few of Cambridge’s.
