Speaking of poetry and sensual scent, Pablo Neruda as some other authors was able to merge both in the below:Ĭarnal apple, Woman filled, burning moon,ĭark smell of seaweed, crush of mud and light, But there is always a hint or an inkling of the primary focus of the scent: it is either self-love (as in Gloire de Dijon whose goal is to help awaken femininity and/or spend more time on self-care) or the perpetual desire for love in all its forms, that is to think of the scent as the link between, perhaps, the past and the present, as in Priesse, which expands from Sappho poetry traditions to the present day eroticism, but staying in the frame of aestheticism.
