Hi,

Okay so this might sound weird but here we go.

When I was a kid, my family used to travel to menton as often as possible. It holds many, many amazing memories and though I was between 3-5 years old the first times we went (like 1999, I think). I still remember some things vividly, like the horse bicycles, the mini f1 for kids in some wooded area, etc...

However. The last time I went there, I was a teen, and I'm sad to say that I haven't been able to go back.

The thing that bothers me, that's always bothered me and been stuck in my head is the scent that's like all over the place. Both in menton and Monaco, iirc. Not sure if it's only there between april-september. I've been searching for that special scent ever since that first visit, but damn, I can't seem to find it.

It's like... lemon flower, but also something else? Kind of like... almost rotten, but in a good way if you get what I mean?

Is there anyone out there who can give me the exact "ingredients"? I'd probably bathe in it, soak my clothes, and spray it all over the apartment.

I can't go back to those family days, the mini f1 cars, the horses, all the cozy restaurants, the wondeful museums in Monaco, the view from the casino, the old shopping center, etc. I can't get my childhood back. Going through a horrible time, I just need something good, and if I could just get my hands on that special scent, that would mean the world to me.

I should probably add that I don't have space for outdoor flowers/plants, and I live up in the north, so there's that.

But... a perfume or whatever. Please. If you know, and managed to get through my novel here, please share.

edit 1: looking for serious answers. I don't have a problem with jokes, but this is neither the time nor the place for that. Please respect that :)
