Scent of a Woman
My eyes smiled as I witnessed the delightful rainbow of colors you wear! I reached out to touch your pedals and to my surprise you were as soft, beautiful and gentle as silk. Moving down your stem, you pricked me, but that didn’t stop me from longing to inhale your scent. Then I pulled you close to my face and I was immediately overwhelmed by the orchestra of sweet aromas which filled my nostrils like bliss in a kiss. Your sweet smell, reminded me of honey watermelon, and bumble bees: pollinating in a fresh summer breeze. I closed my eyes again and again to inhale your intoxicating fragrance. I thought how nice it would be to see you in every place of my life. As I began my pursuit to capture you, you were placed on my dining room table, in my garden, intertwined in my type four wavy hair, and lastly you became my aroma presence, my perfume called “Erica”. I wore you each day and people would ask “what is that fragrance?” My response is “Erica”. Erica, your fragrance is a sweet aroma that fills the space of time, causing men to become mesmerized.
Who knew that there was a flower named after me? Erica is a genus of many species of flowering plants. She is also can be called Hirtiflora which is a beautiful shrub with masses of purple-pink flowers in summer and autumn; it adds an elegant touch to the table or even the garden. Erica hirtiflora is an upright and bushy shrub. The flowers are 30-40 mm long, purple-pink, egg-shaped with a constricted mouth and covered in fine hairs. Erica lives on the Cape Peninsula right through Africa and can be found in Madagascar and Europe. Although there are many types of flowers in the world, I am even more intrigued with the Middlemist Red flower and the Jade Vine Flower.
The middlemist which is the rarest flower in the world; only two examples are left in the world. You can only see Middlemist Red Flower in New Zealand Garden and green house garden of the United Kingdom.

    Smell is one of the strongest of the five senses; it also is a key factor that plays huge role in a man’s overall attraction. If a guy smells good, he is almost instantly a more attractive man than he was before his scent could reach you nose. Old Spice advertises its products (body wash) with the ideal man, one who describes himself doing pretty impressive things. This rhetorical analysis is focusing on these topics: why the creator is not believable in the commercial, who the intended audience was, and the questions stated in the rubric.…

    Inside and outside I smelt many scents and aromas. A pleasent scent of chicken, candy yams, buttered corn, and gravy filled the inside of the house. The scent was almost as good as a room full of fresh roses. While the aroma outside was that of grilled chicken, fresh cut grass, and a garden of flowers. It smelled as good as fresh pine trees, or after it rains and the air is fresh. This is what I smelled during dinner.…

    Since its origin as a small manufacturer of women’s perfume in 1955, Flare Fragrances Company, Inc. has grown into the #4 competitor within the women’s fragrance market. Loveliest was introduced in 1975 and has been Flare Fragrances namesake since. In 1996, Flare Fragrances introduced Awash and has introduced a new fragrance every two to three years since, with our most recent being Natural.

    Directly to the right of the patio are Gardenia bushes, three to be exact, they are the color of antique white with petals as dense as a cheerleader's pom-pom. When a gentle breeze blows, a slight heavenly scent from this little flower fills my nose. The delicate yet magnificent purple petals of the Gladiolus adorn these bushes. They stand tall and erect superbly with color. Outlining the flowerbed the Daffodils grow in clusters and bloom golden in the sun. To the left of the patio a flowing sea of lavender Creeping Flock gracefully leans on the green foliage of the Lilies' whose pretty yellows and pinks are delightfully precious. Beside the Lilies a row of lovely white Daisies reveal their essence of purity, unlike the white of the Gardenia, the petals are snowy. All of these flowers have their own special place in my garden and I view each with affection. I am mesmerized as I watch the flowers unfold; stretching in an upward motion to absorb the warmth the sun faithfully delivers.…
