Scent versus Sweet Talk

Perfume is like flattery.

If too much of it is used, it overpowers and even causes the person whom it was intended to impress, to feel more sickened than anything else.

If wielded skillfully and with sincerity, it makes the interaction between two people that little bit more enjoyable and interesting.

But even in the absence of both, relationships and friendships can still flourish and bloom and grow beautiful.

Whilst sweet to smell, I still really hate perfume - using and smelling it. To me, it is an unnecessary and unpleasant assailment of my senses. It is a distraction and a smoke screen and a deliberate attempt to try to make me like the person faster and better. I like to take my time, and try to avoid people who focusses too much on scent or sweet talk.
