The Smell of Lucille in La Papillon Blanc
I knew Benoit to be a clean, almost-vastidious man prone to wearing slightly too much cologne. This was new, and beyond that there was something to the smell itself. But for the most part, I ignored it. After all, if I could remain unconcerned about Benoit when he was miserable, doing so when he was happy hardly seemed like a challenge. And indeed he continued to be happy, almost to the point of bliss for almost the entire month following. The smell was growing ever so gradually stronger but never quite reached the stage where it felt worth bringing up with Lucille.
