And, so, everything perishes
Beauty is but short-lived
But the image which mind holds
For tiny, little things
The fragrance, set deep in memory
Surfaces up
Exuding unexpected happiness.

I like this because often it really is a scent that triggers a memory that is buried deep within us and will waft up to the surface to bring us happiness. Lovely imagery.

Your poem is quite accurate about life and sometimes the brevity of certain forms of happiness. A floral bouquet may be in its prime for only a week, then it declines. Seasons and their beauty..
