This is tantalizing, Kim! Tempting, indeed... And, interestingly (I think), in Ancient Israel and later Babylon, women used to wear their finest perfume in tiny vials attached to ??? (I forgot!), properly pinned to their clothing... And the Mishnaic question was: Could they carry that vial with them that way if they went outside on the Sabbath day. So, let's hear the answer, O Oracle! ~ Curiouser and Curiouser (btw: The correct answer is ALWAYS 'It depends!' lol).

Thank you ALWAYS for your insight and thoughts! Very interesting. Here too I wish to convey that the sweetest perfume is found in marriage - the enjoyment of one another for a lifetime in honesty and sweet seduction, if you will. God bless you, dear friend!
