The Vial

The Vial · a cover motif reimagined as an object to examine up close.

On the cover of The Perfume That Didn’t Exist, the motif is identified as “The Vial.” She recreates the scent of a house from another life, and thousands of strangers recognize it.

The motif, its illustration, and its appearances can be compared. A resemblance proves neither that the same object has traveled nor that two stories share a continuity.
