Forget-Scent-Not

Smell the scent, sense the fragrance, is a method used to recognize and to familiarize without touching, seeing, and feeling. Scent, a powerful chemical that enables a cub or a child to associate its mother without seeing. And because of the scent, a stag will produce a musky pheromone to attract a doe during the rut, that people use it today to perform the similar function, to get the aphrodisiac sensation, except it is based on no season. Unfortunately, our body odor is not pleasant all the time. At times, some liquid are dripped onto the wrist or the back of the ear lobe, believed in the fragrance to be carried by the vessel and distributed inconspicuously. This magical potion that has been called perfume, the blending of alcohol with variety of oils extracted from flowers, fruits, or synthetic, causing especially the women, who have probably impossible of tracking its era of her association with fragrance, to be indulgent in it. One of the tourist spots, the must-do activity in France is to visit the perfumery. Although the tour comes with a perfume vial as a door gift, it would become more exciting and anticipating if the 'fragrance tour' has completed with a present when the smell guessing activity is carried out. About the door gift, sorry to say, it smells of mosquito coil, in which i admit that i don't appreciate some of the 'arts of smell'. Yet, the tour lady who works for this Fragonard Parfumeur is someone worth my notice. Her thin sharp nose, the act of placing the perfumed sticks in front of her nose is sexy and really soothed the eyes. The journey of discovering perfumes today can be as easy as obtaining a sample from the cosmetic counter,in which i have one, Midnight Rose from Lancome. Or is it only as determined as Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, the perfection can only be achieved?
