Poetry to Wear This Winter

Poetry can be found in the most unexpected places—perfume forums, for example. But perhaps this shouldn’t be so unexpected. How can someone describe a scent other than with memories and emotions? It’s only natural, since the olfactory gland is a part of the limbic system.

Here are my favorite fragrances for winter and their most poetic reviews—sourced from Fragrantica, a perfume encyclopedia, magazine, and forum.

2. Obsession by Calvin Klein

3. KL Homme by Karl Lagerfeld
