Ella
I never believed in superstition or lucky charms until the night I found myself in possession of both.
It was a warm spring evening and I was in my dressing room at the Las Vegas Opera House, home of the Las Vegas Opera Company, where I’d been performing for the last year as a professional opera singer.
I was getting ready for another performance of La Bohème when I saw it: a small, exquisite bottle with an unusual label and a fragrance that was both familiar and strange.
I knew at once what it was: the perfume my mother used to wear, the perfume my father brought her from Paris on their honeymoon.
The last time I smelled that perfume was at my parents’ funeral.
I knew the bottle had been lost in the move from San Francisco to Las Vegas, and I assumed it was gone forever.
Now here it was, in front of me, with no explanation of how it got there or what it might mean.
I picked up the bottle and inhaled deeply.
I spray the perfume on my wrist, watching the liquid shimmer under the dressing room lights.
The scent fills the air - jasmine, amber, and something else I can’t identify.
My fingers trace the intricate design on the bottle, a pattern of flowers and vines that seems to dance in the light.
I close my eyes and remember my mother, how she always smelled like this when she came home from work.
How she would hug me and say, "Ella, my little girl."
I open my eyes and look at myself in the mirror.
I’m wearing a black evening gown with a plunging neckline and a full skirt that falls to my ankles.
My hair is pulled back into a tight bun and my makeup is dramatic - dark eyeliner, red lipstick.
I look like a completely different person from the one who moved to Las Vegas a year ago, hoping to escape her past. There’s a knock at the door and I jump.
"Five minutes to curtain," says the stage manager’s voice.
I tuck the perfume into my evening purse, planning to wear it after the show when I go to the casino to meet my friends.
As I stand up and smooth out my dress, I catch another whiff of the scent.
It’s changed somehow - deeper, richer, more mysterious.
I walk through the dimly lit backstage corridors, my heels clicking on the floor.
Stagehands rush past me, carrying props and set pieces.
The orchestra is warming up and I can hear the sound of violins and cellos drifting through the air.
I pause at the wings, take a deep breath, and smooth my dress one last time.
The perfume’s scent is still on my skin, making me feel like my mother is closer than she has in years.
The orchestra begins the overture and I step forward into the warm spotlight.
As I look out at the packed house, I notice something strange: my hands aren’t shaking like they usually do before a performance.
The scent has given me a calm I never knew I needed.
