A barista’s day is full of fragrance. After making dozens of cups of coffee, that scent has soaked into clothes, hair, and skin.
After work, a barista’s shower is the ritual of shedding the day’s fragrance. Returning home, the desire is to return to one’s own fragrance.
One barista says: the fragrance of my body wash after a shower is what I love best. That moment is when I’ve really left work.
Fragrance is identity. What fragrance to choose is choosing what kind of self you want to be today.
