Personal symbolism
Perfume is an image of pleasure and impression: it can linger, attract attention, or become overwhelming. Inhaling it suggests happy incidents, while applying it to your clothing and person points to seeking and receiving adulation. If the scent oppresses you, joy may be taken to excess; spilling it suggests losing a source of pleasure. Breaking the bottle carries a more severe disappointment, while distilling perfume points to agreeable work and associations. For a young woman, perfuming a bath suggests ecstatic happenings, but receiving perfume from a man suggests fascinating, dangerous pleasures.
