Perfume

The days are fruits and our role is to eat them … to make them our spiritual flesh and our soul, to live. Living has no other meaning than this.

So each generation builds its roots and its sense of identity, whether in clothes, music, scents, and so forth.

Illusion is not a lie, it is a way of fulfilling desires.

smell is the only sense connected directly with the limbic system, odors have a strong emotional impact.

the human sense of smell is closely involved in emotional life: intoxicating pleasure in the aroma of a wood fire, of a garment, of skin. The pain of the lingering fragrance left by those we have lost. The desire and pleasure aroused by a perfume, a wine, or a dish.
