Analysis of Scents of the Soul : A Journey of Self-Discovery”



I roamed the lands, in search of something real,
A scent that would linger, that I could truly feel.
Aroma of nature, that can never be replaced,
Klasik, Musk, and de Roos, with a hint of grace.
A fragrance that will linger, on body, mind and soul,
Courage and beauty, my heart shall forever hold.
This incredible journey, that I have found,
I thank Allah for the scent that surrounds.
For the beauty that I see, and the love that I feel,
I am forever grateful for this sweet, sweet deal.
