Hello all-
I'm practically brand new to the scent field and have found it both invigorating and serene. I continously go to my bathroom to smell the various samples over and over... practically obsessively and it's not because I'm enamored with any one in particular but rather fascinated by... I'm not sure- the "it" of it, provocation of the senses I guess.
At any rate as an archivist and enthusiast of classic literature the hunt is afoot for scents which are directly or indirectly related to literature.
For example: scents named after famous books, or characters from books, or authors, or even the favorite scents of authors.
Another example and a fantastic one at that- I found Bel Ami by Hermes. As most of you know, it is named after a famous French novel and it also happens to be one of my favorites. I smell it constantly and it ignites my imagination about an old poet from the story whose words are poetic in reason which are harsh but smooth and true much like the scent itself.
I'm hoping to explore this angle of scent anyway; one based on famous literature, authors, etc...
There's got to be someone who at least knows the favorite scents of some famous authors, Hemingway etc... I'm not talking Harry Potter here...
There's another great one though Balafre- named after a historical figure which is another cool idea. If there's any scents based on famous historical characters also just let me know.
I found that "Let me play the Lion" is named after a portion of Shakespeare play too... pretty cool stuff.
Thanks all.
