Man: Thy breasts are as twin young roses, that thrive among the lilies. Until daybreak and the shadows flee, I will visit the mountain of myrrh, the hill of frankincense. Thou has ravished my heart, my sweetheart, my bride, how much better is thy love than mine. And the smell of thy person than all the s./pices.

Some men have a more developed olfactory sense than others, but all of them consciously or unconsciously respond to what the French have termed a woman's cassolette.

If a woman's natural perfume was indeed a weapon it would have one hundred per cent accuracy over a very long range. It is also infinitely more sophisticated than the weapons of war since it will only strike those who need to be struck-ie. sexually 'mature' heterosexual males.
