Scent Reflection
“Haunted by Frankincense” is a title with atmosphere built into it. The original post contains no body copy, so this refreshed version treats the phrase as a prompt for thinking about how one named material can carry mood, memory and expectation—without inventing a personal story that was never supplied.

Why the Title Lingers
“Haunted” suggests recurrence: an impression that returns after the moment has passed. Paired with “frankincense,” it makes the material name feel less like a note-list entry and more like the center of an unfinished memory.
The title does not tell us where the scent was encountered, which fragrance contained it or who experienced it. Leaving those questions open preserves the original mystery.
