Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
Dolly Parton

Gaiety is to good-humor as animal perfumes to vegetable fragrance. The one overpowers weak spirits, the other recreates and revives them. Gaiety seldom fails to give some pain good-humor boasts no faculties which every one does not believe in his own power, and pleases principally by not offending.
Samuel Johnson
Image
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it.
Saadi
Image
Pretty women without religion are like flowers without perfume.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Perfume is a story in odors, sometimes a poetry of memory
Jean-Claude Ellena

My grandmother always used to wear this English perfume called Tuberose and then she died and then I dated this girl who wore the same thing. Every time I hung out with her, I could only think of my recently deceased grandmother. So sometimes a signature scent can be good and sometimes it can be bad.

and there grows in the mind a scent, it may be, of locust blossoms whose perfume is itself a wind moving to lead the mind away.
William Carlos Williams
Image
Christ was born in a manger, laying down amongst donkeys ang goats. He was given gifts of incense and perfume. No kidding.
Dana Gould

If I look back, my mother was always out. I can remember the perfume and her scarlet chiffon dress and crystal beads, going to a party. She used to play her violin at restaurants later on in life and at old people's homes. She loved the races, which she used to take me to as a child: our carpets were bought with her winnings. Loved her chickens.

Look in the perfumes of flowers and of nature for peace of mind and joy of life.
Wang Wei
Image
Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Perfume is a note of woman's individuality. It is the last touch to her look.
Christian Dior

Beck behaved himself, though it was really difficult, especially during the slow dances when they were so tantalizingly close. He savoured the feel of her against his body, the light scent of her perfume, the in her eyes that told him he was the center of her universe. It was a new and totally overwhelming experience.

She reached inside the wide ruffle and pulled out a little vial. “Poison?” asked Lady Maccon, tilting her head to one side. “Certainly not. Something far more important: perfume. We cannot very well have you fighting crime unscented, now, can we?” “Oh.” Alexia nodded gravely. After all, Madame Lefoux was French. “Certainly not.

I wash with my own soap-wear my own perfume...got to bed on my own sheets... have my own food products. I live on me.
Pierre Cardin
Image
The brief span of our poor unhappy life to its final hour Is hastening on and while we drink and call for gay wreaths, Perfumes, and young girls, old age creeps upon us, unperceived.
Juvenal
Image
The root of sanctity is sanity. A man must be healthy before he can be holy. We bathe first, and then perfume.
Sophie Swetchine
Image
A perfume is like a piece of clothing, a message, a way of presenting oneself a costume that differs according to the woman who wears it.
Paloma Picasso
Image
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I love that contradiction between the ugly and the nice. It's shot in a very gourmet way in the Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer. But then Grenouille doesn't differentiate between what's commonly considered to be good smells and bad. He just takes it all, like a true collector does.

Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
Image
Polls are like perfume-nice to smell, dangerous to swallow.
Shimon Peres
Image
The morality code that remains after the religion that produced it is rejected is like the perfume that lingers in an empty bottle.
