Past experience told me he could smell my fear it also told me that the anger accompanying it would pretty much cover the scent. It's good to know how to compensate for your own weaknesses.
Mira Grant

Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others.
Hanna Rosin

The effect of scent is really interesting. It can create a mood and change a feeling immediately. I wanted to create a modern wardrobe of fragrances ... fragrances that can be very personal to the woman who's wearing them.
Aerin Lauder

The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
Image
If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure.
Shmuel Yosef Agnon

I often have a few scents depending on if I'm playing a character. The character may be wearing a scent that perhaps I wouldn't wear. We've all got different moods and ways we want to express ourselves scent is a very powerful way to let people in to your secret life.
Cate Blanchett

Obviously I want the fragrance to smell good. I tell people all the time that when you see someone there can obviously be a physical attraction, but scent is something that stays with you. It's something that you remember about a person.
Chris Paul

Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
Why did dusk and fir-scent and the afterglow of autumnal sunsets make people say absurd things?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
A bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note, a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings, an empty scent bottle for the children. . . . Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?
Pam Brown
Image
Enough of clouds, waves, aquariums, water-sprites and nocturnal scents what we need is music of the earth, everyday music..music one can live in like a house.
Jean Cocteau
Image
The gift of perfume to a flower is a special grace like genius or like beauty, and never becomes common or cheap.
John Burroughs
Image
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Image
Nature’s constantly screaming with all its shapes and scents: love each other! Love each other! Do as the flowers. There’s only love.
Octave Mirbeau
Image
I believe that people want the scent of love, more than anything else. And I don't mean sentimentality, I don't mean mush. I mean that idea, that human beings are more alike than we are different. And that means that I can love you. I don't mean support you in bad things you do, that I can understand because you're a human being.
Maya Angelou

The larvae! The scent of young blood entices and draws them closer. There's no need to venture into antiquity to evoke the shades of the dead.
Jean Lorrain
Image
Why can't you like me? he said, his voice breaking. His scent steamed then, hot and heady with a welter of contradictions: apples and fire and electric roil of those cold, black shadows. Why can't you like me just a little? She would never know how she might have answered, because he never gave her the chance. Instead, he kissed her.
Ilsa J. Bick

Most of the oils which are valued as scents are mixtures of substances only the combined effect of these leads to the known result.
Otto Wallach
Image
Questers of the truth, that’s who dogs are seekers after the invisible scent of another being’s authentic core.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless. As clear as if she spoke to me, she was saying, Very well, I know you want to keep my strength up, but scent fades, you know! And I'd say, I know, girl, buy you're what I have and I'm going to take care of you.
Tamora Pierce
Image
Could I but lay my head in your lap, lass. Feel your hand on me, and sleep wi' the scent of you in my bed. Christ, Sassenach. I need ye.
Diana Gabaldon
Image
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
