She wondered when it would lift. Then – a breath. A thread of hope carried in the air, the restorative scent of lavender and sandalwood – so fragile she feared acknowledging it might make it vanish. She moved. Some days, all she could do was crawl. Other days, a step. Always forward. Time passed like waves. Each small victory – a breath, a step, a day survived – carried notes of sandalwood and lavender, anchoring her to now. The fragrance became a tether, a compass. A gift she gave herself – proof that she was still here. The light worth moving towards. Until one day, she realized the warmth on her face wasn't a hallucination. She had been rising all along. She is a warrior. She is strong enough. She is Paloria. ----- Classified as Parfum, Chlōq is formulated at a higher concentration than most fine fragrances, so it wears longer, lingers deeper, and requires less.
