All the dates you could ever avoid: Catnip Perfume.

Come and find out where memories are kept. Have you ever smelled a nostalgic perfume, one of those scents that immediately brings to mind memories so sweet and nostalgic that time almost stops? This is the story of Sophie, a young time's guardian, whose job is to create the fragrances that will keep your memories. *Short story*

A "nose" is the expert whose fine sense of smell and skills in smell composition brings forth the creation of perfumes. Lani's nose did not come with just the ability but with a physical disability as well: the size. It was forced on her, as a child, by the curse of a flower that only bloomed once every thirty years. Growing up with a huge nose did not prove to be easy but, eventually, Lani managed to turn the disadvantage to her advantage and created a perfume industry whose perfumes and essences were number one in the world. Nevertheless power and success did not take away loneliness and that lingering feeling that something really important had gone missing. After thirty years it was time for the flower to bloom again. The flower she hated so much, the flower she wanted to cut down... that's when strange things begun to happen and a mysterious man appeared in her life with the firm intention of changing her ways for ever! Thus begins the struggle between the Flower and the Nose!
