In his memory, the elegant fragrance of osmanthus was always closely related to autumn. Every time autumn came, the osmanthus flowers would quietly bloom. The tiny flower was like a starry sky, hidden among the green leaves. A gentle breeze blew past, and the rich and mellow fragrance spread out like strands of silk. There were a few osmanthus trees by the school field. During the break, my classmates and I would play under the tree. The fragrance filled the air and lingered around us. We talked about our dreams and shared the little secrets of our lives in the fragrance of flowers. At that time, the fragrance of osmanthus was mixed with the ignorance and vitality of youth. It was a taste full of infinite longing for the future.
And that fresh gardenia fragrance, it always reminds me of the small courtyard in my hometown. When she was young, her grandmother had planted a few gardenia flowers in the corner of the yard. Every early summer, gardenias would bloom. The snow-white petals were like the skirt of a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. In the early morning, the sun shone on the flowers. Crystal dewdrops rolled on the petals, emitting a refreshing fragrance. I would often pick one and put it in my hair, jumping around in the yard. The fragrance was accompanied by Grandma's kind smile and warm advice. It was the smell of home, a symbol of a carefree childhood.
