Mmm, Perfume. Your reason for loving that book is the same as mine.

I like that passage in Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian where Stephen Maturin muses on smell and how the lack of descriptive words for it is the reason smells with a personal significance (I'm so sorry for these inadvertent double-entendres) affect us strongly every time we experience them.
