my favorite kind of scents

I distinctly remember back when I was in the third grade I was so intrigued with this delicious scent that my best friend at the time used to smell like a lot, but I never ask her what it was until one day I went to her bedroom and saw a brown tinted plastic bottle that smells exactly like how she did. It was The Body Shop's Vanilla body mist which sadly has been discontinued in its original form. Ever since that experience of finding out what that scent was, I always ask my mom to get me a bottle of this Vanilla goodness whenever we walked past the store so I never ran out of it. Eventually, that body mist has been replaced with a newer and improved more modern looking sister which I feel like just not the same. As I grew older, at one point in my life I stopped wearing this body mist or any scents at all. I even hated when my mom just sprayed perfume on herself because I always feel like it's always too much and gave me a headache. Although I didn't understand about scents, when I was younger if I was travelling away without my mom and had to spend the night, I always carry a scarf that smells literally just like her to cover my pillow with and that makes me feel less anxious.
