Purple Sugar

Have you ever smelled purple sugar? I mean really smelled purple sugar? Well if you haven't you are missing out on (if I may say) one of the single most delicious and invigorating scents your nostrils will every have the pleasure of experiencing.

Keira instantly spoke up and said, "dad, don't they smell like purple sugar?" His face lit up and he got (what I imagine) was the same sparkle in his eye that must of brightened my entire aura while continuing on through our grocery excursion. It was at that time the he knew he just discovered...

Purple Sugar!

So, no matter what form. No matter what place, No matter what time No matter what color. When the sweetness and innocence of that perfect little face asks you what it smells like to you, think...

purple sugar!
