Scents of Autumn

camphor
disperses scent
warning, scaring, driving,
mosquitoes under fallen leaves.
fragrance.

Congratulations on your winning work. Way to go. Camphor does a scent of its own. I did not know it is a mosquito repellent. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. 👏📖. Sara K.

Congratulations on your top win, Valsa, in this contest with a lovely write on the prompt highlighting the properties of camphor scent. A nice reminder that it dispels mosquitoes. I think it also dispels cockroaches. Wishing you a delightful weekend.
