A thing of beauty can completely lack physical form. We find some experiences beautiful despite their lack of physical appearance and we find some theories beautiful despite them being ideas that lack any physical structure. Perfume is the only beauty product that just plays on the emotions. We cannot see a scent and despite its complete lack of visual structure it can have an immediate and intimate effect. We can love or hate a smell for the image it elicits. A smell can evoke memories of an unhappy episode while someone else will identify it as warm and pleasing. We can be moved to describe a scent as beautiful because of the delicate impression or because of its zesty, exciting chemistry. Interestingly a scent can smell different on different people. We can love a scent for the way it smells on others but hate the way it smells on us. The perfume we are provoked into calling beautiful is not some- thing we can objectively decide. Freewill and personal choice play no part in the process.
