Perfume-related quotes

Thanks, Mia

I often notice outside that I had forgotten to put on any perfume, but since I feel more comfortable with smelling with less than too much, I suppose it's fine by me. I can understand that, though.

Just came up with another quote (self-made; please imagine Bilbo's voice):"It is important to listen to your own nose, Frodo - otherwise, it might leave you and even steal your identity." -- credit to Gogol

--Tania Sanchez, Perfumes The Guide 2018

“Perfume is a matter of seduction,” he says. “Don’t forget, the bees are going to the flower. And we are all bees.”

Jacques Cavallier Belletrud

Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud might be right for the majority of people, but I prefer flowers to bees

"The scent of the blossoms will not stay on the branches they have fallen from
but will remain deeply fragrant on the sleeves" (from The Tale of Genji)
