Femininity [Part II]

Roman Payne writes: Scent is such a powerful tool of attraction. 

I was reminded of a conversation I had with a stranger at Planet Coffee in the market a couple years back. A pleasant conversation that lasted about 2 hours. He left me that day insisting I watch Al Pacino’s “Scent of a Woman” from ‘92. I have yet to watch it. 

But the words “scent of a woman” stuck and it’s become a sort of investigation. 

A scent is something someone can be known by. A distinguishing characteristic. No, I’m not necessarily referring to smells - but it can be. (I know I’ve had people stop me to ask me what perfume I was wearing ..ha)

Literal side, what scent have you cultivated and adopted as your own? What trait and/characteristic have you developed, worked on and refined that you are known for. And no, I’m not asking about your job. Who you are apart from your job?

Witty, elegant, hilarious, serious, gentle, aloof, the baseball guy, the...ad infinitum. 

Name a few of your “scents”. What do you leave behind that remains with others?

What is your scent as a woman? (Men welcome too). Character is key to the vastness of what femininity entails.
