doused

Spanish translation: rociada de un poco de...

Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / doused
English term or phrase: doused
And so one quiet morning this week I found myself reaching for a scent I hadn’t smelled in a while.
Doused in a bit of Trésor, I was off to visit the Parc de Sceaux and sit beneath this year’s cherry blossoms.
A special scent for a special day that will always recall a morning beneath the cherry blossoms.
A reminder to me to treasure these magic moments in life before they slip away…

No puedo encontrar una palabra para "doused". ¿Alguien me podría ayudar?

Muchas gracias!!

agree  colinjstevenson: El "buen" está bien, según yo. Creo que en inglés algo parecido sería "drenched".

impregnada con un sutil toque de Trésor


Explanation:
Bueno, todas las opciones me parecen válidas. Me gusta, como indico la de Adoración...

Aquí anoto un par más, no sé si por rizar el rizo... o para intentar la cuadratura del círculo... o por aquello del farde en la oficina...

Aunque en cuestión de perfumes..., mmm..., espero no hacer el ridículo...

"Cuando un desconocido te regale flores... eso es 'Impulso'"... la fragancia...

Envuelta en la fragancia de Trésor, con sólo una leve rociada,

Habiéndome puesto un ligero matiz de Trésor, que impregnó todo mi cuerpo,

Con un matiz de Trésor, todo mi cuerpo emanaba esa fragancia cuando...

"Olía a romero y a tomilllo... y olía hasta el mar..." (uff, esto no tiene nada que ver... pero es que yo, "nací en el Mediterráneo", como Serrat).

Con un sutil toque de Trésor...

Bueno, y lo que te rondaré, Morena.

Hasta donde llegue la sinestesia de los colores aromáticos y las emanaciones olfativas de musical armonía... :-)
