The garlic smell that remains on the hands through three washes and one full day.
The garlicafterlife begins at the chopping board and outlives the meal, the washing up, and the night. It travels on fingertips into books, keyboards, and handshakes. Cooks plan around it, wearing it like a cologne, and guests can tell what was for dinner without asking.
Etym. — garlic + afterlife — the scent that persists past its own death.
