Aftershaves and Perfumes

I am someone who likes a nice smell
To those who know me
This I will tell

I find it exciting
To be caught by surprise
By a beautiful scent
It can mesmerize

Not all scents are great
Some you will hate
That is life
No need for debate

Aftershaves and perfumes
Developed to allure
They appeal to our sense of smell
And leave us wanting more

They draw us in
Excite and awaken
Tease and please
That is their expertise

What do you like
Spicy or sweet
Musky or floral
Depending on your views
You will choose

Either way
Remember each day
No harm in a little spray

Hi Pixie, Thanks for your compliment, much appreciated. Yes scents can bring us back to people places in an instant. Have a look at my poem Obsession, this is my experience of what you have just said. Thanks again. Frances
