Poetic Perfumery

O' poets switch off all senses but one as you enter this arena of aroma as I nose out the world's perfumes to boost thy nasal stamina. A dainty phial of perfume is indeed a perfect and preferred present It's the joy of the lady, the joy of the gent A vial of perfume tis a gift lovely and fragrant A gift of a whiff, for all to sniff from scents sophisticated and pleasant. He loves to revel in her lingering scent treasuring it to form scented hints of sweet memory It soon becomes his favorite fragrance as he inhales in the imagined potpourri. And she sashays trailing behind her a tantalizing trail of her choicest elegant fragnances As for 'Indian' me Im in love with sandalwood too of sweet sillage and its unique nuances. To extirpate the putrid and the pungent comes in handy any pleasing spray of odorant. Enhance the refreshing smells of the great ozone layer with honey-suckle airfreshners for good-smelling air. Sensual scents do well for sentient man to satisfy his olfactory cells, to gratify his sense of smell Wherever you may go, wherever you may be It's trendy to leave that tell-tale perfume trail. It's thanks to medieval Avicenna we can extract fragrance from the flora Extraction of essential oils from jasmines and rosewood to expel and dispel any trace of miasma with aromas of flowers such as freesia or mimosa. Thus explore the enticing effect of extracted essence Ooh luxuriate yourself in assorted floral fragrance. And that lands us in the world of fragrant agarwood of middle-eastern ittars or attars for aesthetic incense to diffuse in your sacraments, the mystical frankincense The strong nuances too of scents in enchanting oud and thus enjoy the tenacity of entrancing fragrance! And from dawn unto dusk my favorite scent is that of musk Its distinct and distinguished scent has turned me into a fan so fervent. As for a more occidental smell my choice is sweet and refreshing lavender while others prefer eau de cologne or the intoxicating smell of ethyl and ester. And for fragrant balms from balsams explore the world of the heady stronger scents No matter if they are mere synthetic blends they're gorgeous infusions for your glamorous garments. Modern or ancient times, the world's enthralled by fragrance Be it western parfum or oriental patchouli Ah, luxuriate yourself in the lingering hints of scents as you explore the aromatic world of perfumery. This is not meant to be a sales catalogue It's only to present the perfumes in vogue. So much for the world of perfumes compressed in a nutshell All is well, pray God bless the sense of smell.

hi I really enjoyed this piece about fragrance beauty and smell. Very well put together. A different formatting too, I like it when it becomes unusual. Keeps people guessing. Good work Kevin

Although due to an error of formatting, this sequence of words becomes impressing in this way. Maybe we have discovered a new and modern way to write poems! Don't change the format, words are excellent and perfumed
