Scent Quotations
No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring.
Samuel Johnson
The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.
Ramakrishna
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau
Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.
Diane Ackerman
Perhaps the old monks were right when they tried to root love out; perhaps the poets are right when they try to water it. It is a blood-red flower, with the color of sin; but there is always the scent of a god about it.
Olive Schreiner
The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!
Francois Rabelais
I always wanted my own fragrance because I could never find the right scent for me. At home, I would always mix bottles of my favorite fragrances to create a unique and different scent.
Nicole Polizzi
I'm totally on a mission to find my signature scent, but I'm too mercurial.
Lexa Doig
I enjoy popping in to World Duty Free at the airport and trying out perfumes - I can never resist a new scent.
Lisa Snowdon

Angus Wilson
