methylviolet10b for the prompt. I think you’ve started a holiday prompt drabble series…
The first thing that struck him was the smell. Even in the biting cold, it permeated the still air. Sherlock inhaled deeply through his nose, taking in and analysing every scent element. Spicy. Dry. Aromatic. Warm.
John sniffed and grimaced. “Bitter?”
“Bitter perfume, to be precise.” He scanned the scene inside the police tape as Donovan stalked towards them. She looked less happy than usual. He met her pursed-lipped glare with a single word. “Myrrh.”
“What?”
“Myrrh. Surely even you can smell it. Or--” Everyone was bundled against the chill, but Donovan more so. “Perhaps not through that congestion.”
