The Story
Fog rolls in off the Bay as the morning ferry docks. Across the concourse, a gloved hand lifts a newspaper and, for a single breath, two pairs of eyes meet over its edge.
Première Vue is that suspended second — cold bergamot and the metallic sparkle of pink pepper giving way to powdered orris, the scent of a cashmere collar turned up against the salt wind.
