There is something quite magical about fragrance and scent, and perfume is about so much more than smelling good. Our choice of fragrance shares a little bit of our inner self with the world, from light, floral and joyful, to intense, rich and seductive, our perfume contributes to leaving a first impression on people never met before, and that’s quite amazing. To think that something so simple as a scent, can share such intimate details about a person’s inner thoughts without uttering a single word.
As famous perfumer Olivier Creed once said, your handbag may not be remembered, but your perfume will. There’s even a word for it. Sillage (pronounced see-yazh) refers to the trail of scent left behind from a perfume, and it’s a pretty incredible thought – that one can still have a presence in a room without even being present, almost like hearing a beautiful aria without any words being spoken. And with such a fascinating concept, how could we not pull together some of our favourite perfume quotes to get you thinking, and make you feel the magic of fragrance – the most luxurious simple pleasure.
