Zippers are primal and modern at the very same time. On the one hand, your zipper is primitive and reptilian, on the other, mechanical and slick. A zipper is where the Industrial Revolution meets the Cobra Cult.
Tom Robbins

I've been trying to redefine fragrance since I was a child - before I was ten. Throughout my life, certain fragrance notes have captured my imagination - especially liquorice, violet and anise, flooding back into my consciousness.
Lolita Lempicka
Image
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
David Fincher
Image
I am sure the man who powders most, perfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired. Though to be candid, there are some who have too much good sense to esteem such monkey-like animals as these, in whose formation, as the saying is, the tailors and barbers go halves with God Almighty.
Thomas Jefferson

Whether I'm making a recipe or a piece of jewelry or a white-rose-and-jasmine tea or the perfume, I like to think of myself as a happy little sorceress, and if I could just have a little general store with all that stuff and give people a sense of my taste, that would be lovely.
Padma Lakshmi

Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The question about those aromatic advertisements that perfume companies are having stitched into magazines these days is this: under the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, is smelling up the place a constitutionally protected form of expression?
Calvin Trillin

Granny Ditto always referred to perfume as smell good and for me it's an essential. I have a sweetheart who's extremely allergic to most scents, so I have to be extra careful - as well as creative - in the smell department. The key, I've found, are essential oils, which come in all kinds of 100% natural scents.
Beth Ditto

Put on light-coloured clothes and some perfume, take care of your body and do everything you can to fight against the forces of darkness. It is not an easy struggle, but it is worthwhile.
Jean Vanier
Image
The honeysuckle was everywhere the day the letter arrived, like heat. Wild roses bloomed in hedges of tendrils and perfume. There were fat bees, dirigible bees, plump and miniature. It was a sweet, tangled morning, and the sun rose, leisurely, in a spectacular blush.
Cathleen Schine
Image
The sun doth shake Light from his locks, and, all the way Breathing perfumes, doth spice the day.
Henry Vaughan
Image
A second blow of many flowers appears, flowers faintly tinged and breathing no perfume but fruits, not blossoms, form the woodland wreath that circles Autumn's brow.
James Grahame
Image
All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand! Oh, oh, oh!
William Shakespeare
Image
Apology is a lovely perfume it can transform the clumsiest moment into a gracious gift.
Margaret Lee Runbeck
Image
I like to put perfume on my pulse points, but I also love the way you can sense it - there is an atmosphere that comes from releasing a scent in to the world - it's a primal thing. I spray around me, not just on me, and it lingers in the room after I leave.
Cate Blanchett

Many perfumes promise to lure men to women. None of them smell of motherhood. None of them proclaim the wearer to be tidy, thrifty, and sensible.
Janette Rallison
Image
Smell alone amongst the senses can either destroy or quite remake a man.
Gerolamo Cardano
Image
Her perfume or soap or whatever it was reminded him of sandalwood and something else. Oh, right...orgasms.
J.R. Ward
Image
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
Sonia Rykiel
Image
I believe that because I had obtained a wife who was made up of wife-signs (beauty, charm, softness, perfume, cookery) I had found love.
Donald Barthelme

I want you to learn the lesson of the lotus. This flower springs forth from muddy waters. It raises its delicate petals to the sun and perfumes the world while, at the same time, its roots cling to the elemental muck, the very essence of the mortal experience. Without that soil, the flower would wither and die.
Colleen Houck
Image
My soul travels on the smell of perfume like the souls of other men on music.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
I like chocolate. I don’t eat it, but I like the smell of it. People can drink with their eyes I can eat with my nose. I would love to have a perfume based on chocolate.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Gems, in fact, are a species of mineral flowers they are the blossoms of the dark, hard mine and what they want in perfume, they make up in durability.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
