The best perfume (for Poets United)

You can try and bottle up
The finest aromas
Mix it with the scent
Of high diplomas
Add the fragrance
Of money and success 
But money cannot buy
The beautiful smell
Of a life lived fully
A life lived well

    Dani, I love how you symbolized a period in time.
    How the scent of our youthful desires can change as the smell of live allures us~ Well Done!

    It can't be preserved intentionally, but it can suddenly return at an unexpected time and prove utterly overwhelning!
