THE PERFUME … ESSAY
THE PERFUME
OBSESSIVE SEARCH FOR THE ONE SCENT
Bewitched and plagued by the perfect sense of smell …
… Grenouille – master & murderer – in one person!
The PERFUME … power … disillusionment … failure …
… last but not least.
Not quite so dramatic , but for a person with an olfactory sense , even understandable thought processes to a certain extent !
Always follow your nose , social & …
… occasional emerging killer instinct !
Is our 8th sense taken by surprise , even raped ?
… of heavy, sweet
musk and jasmine-laden odor of the lady from the so-called upper society …
… or of those who – in the circle of the chosen ones – would like to appear that way .
POISON
– – – – – – – – – – – –
AUTHENTICITY IS THE KEY WORD!!!
Is n’t it the salty smell of the sea,
with its treasures washed ashore and slowly rotting
(Algae, mussels, snails, … fish carcasses)
or the beguiling smell of goods on offer
(from fresh fruit, fish, meat, from varied herbs and spices)
in the sweltering heat of a weekly market in southern climes,
which really offends our “ olfactory bulb ” !
NO …
… these smells are authentic .
They miraculously connect with positive memories…
…at least for me.
Our sense of smell is inevitably linked to our brain!
Send it to us immediately
We have barely noticed it – that smell
diverse associations
sometimes of great significance to its consumers.
Completely different for everyone!
Objectivity …
…no luck!
Completely subjective feeling determines our perception !
Also, … unconsciously – perhaps – but nevertheless crucially, in the choice of partners , those who are closest to us in the truest sense of the word .
Defined to a significant extent by tiny molecules , …
… is the chemistry right or not?
At the latest the morning after
– the beguiling scent of EROS , which covers our own odor, has disappeared –
comes the hard landing in the harsh reality!!!
Oh my God! ... how could I? This can't end well. I must have been completely dazed!
It's a miracle that two individuals can still smell each other after that ; they can even imagine not having to miss that one special, authentic, unmistakable smell of our loved one for a very long time - maybe a lifetime !
PHENOMENAL
– hard to put into words –
We – and others – could be spared a lot of suffering if we did not approach the selection of our perfume thoughtlessly .
What highlights our type? …
… What emphasizes our personality or temperament ?
AUTHENTICITY IS AND REMAINS THE KEY WORD
What feels and smells right ? What suits me?
This is n’t about trends , is it? …
… we are not opportunists .
Oh, she's totally up to date ! She's wearing XY... the new fragrance from...!
HOW??? …
… Really now!!!
Except … this one meets the criteria mentioned above !
