I’m a sensory person. I love seeing things that are aesthetically pleasing, feeling soft, smooth silkiness on my skin, smelling something that I can breathe into and bask in, and of course tasting delicious things and hearing pleasant, calming sounds. Hermes scarves check off 3 of these things. As several posters mentioned, they are works of art - even better - they’re art that I can wear, touch and smell. Scarves make me happy - they add life, color and dimension to a boring palette and feel like a soft hug when I slip them around my neck.
I only wear csgm’s now, but still enjoy the feel of silk and the vibrancy of silk scarves. The joy of unboxing a new scarf, breathing in the new scarf smell and and ultimately slipping it around my neck is second to none. I don’t ‘need’ any more scarves but I can’t resist the urge when I come upon one that truly calls to me.
I so love your post! How delightful to read that you have this realization about yourself and put effort into seeking things that give pleasure to your senses. (I suspect that many of us H lovers are sensory soul sisters/brothers.) Creating beauty for yourself and others can add up to an entire life well-lived. You’ve given me something to think about today.
