The air is thick with the scent of fresh espresso, the kind that warms your hands through a ceramic mug in a quiet café. Steamed milk swirls into vanilla and tonka bean, softening the sharp bite of roasted coffee. Lavender lingers in the background, adding a touch of unexpected freshness, like the crisp morning air outside. This is the scent of slow moments—pages turning, soft conversation, and the comforting hum of a city waking up.
