Where's the Watch
In the midst of a sluggish day at Dials Watch Co., the proprietor, Mr. Dials, decided to retreat to the back room for some watch repairs. Unintentionally, he drifted into a short nap. Upon awakening thirty minutes later, he recalled leaving his cherished antique pocket watch on a counter in the main showroom. Concerned that someone might have entered during his brief slumber, he discovered the pocket watch missing. With no associates present at the time and lacking functional cameras, Mr. Dials embarked on a frantic search for clues. He discerned several unusual elements:
The lingering, distinct musky aroma of a particular perfume
A water ring on a counter, presumably from a cold, icy drink
A couple of pink rose petals on the floor
Join Mr. Dials as he endeavors to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of his prized pocket watch, piecing together the puzzle presented by these curious clues.

Clue:
Eager to uncover more clues about the potential thief of his watch, Mr. Dials decided to inquire around the vicinity.
The bank's guard shared that he had observed only one person entering and leaving the watch store within the last half hour. Unfortunately, he hadn't caught a glimpse of their face and couldn't discern whether it was a man or a woman.
The newspaper stand owner provided insights, revealing that three individuals had purchased pink roses that day. A blonde woman acquired a full bouquet, a dark-haired man selected a mix of white and pink roses, and a salt-and-pepper-haired man bought a single pink rose, placing it in his pocket.
The convenience store salesman confirmed six recent slushie purchases. The customers included two skateboard-toting teenagers, a woman with a bouquet of roses, a middle-aged woman accompanied by her grandson, and a man with a rose tucked in his pocket.
Utilize this information to assist Mr. Dials in narrowing down potential suspects in the search for the watch thief.
