“This is going to make me sound really weird and stalkery, but I've bought the aftershaves of all my ex-boyfriends. Sometimes I like to smell them and be like 'aah, that's Charlie... aah that's Dan'.”

Meaning

This reads as a playful confession about holding on to traces of past relationships through smell. It can be taken to mean that memory is not just emotional, but bodily, and that an ordinary object can become a private archive of people who have mattered. It lands when someone finds themselves keeping a small thing, not for use, but for the feeling it brings back.
