How to use scent in a sentence?
Gwen Landt said. Gwen Landt added that Gwen Landt is trying to give tips to people on when its best to help these animals and when they should be left alone. Rescuers believe the beautiful fawn was separated from Gwen Landt mother and hit by a car which snapped her right back leg just below the hip bone. ( Credit : SWNS) When the mama is taking care of her baby, she leaves it in the ground and it curls up like a little croissant so the mother can go off and find food, she leaves the baby because it doesnt have any scent for a predator to detect. People often come across the baby deer and they think, Oh, it doesnt have a parent, Ill rescue it. But they should wait to see if the mother comes back.
Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Chapter 34:
Scent is the soul of flowers, and sea flowers, as splendid as they may be, have no soul!
You want (that) to be the top layer, it's the scent you want on top.
We launched because of 9/11, noHo and all of downtown were so affected by the events of that day, and we wanted to make New York smell good again. It was a highly emotional time, but my idea was to map out every neighborhood and attach each one to a very different scent.
Our eternity is not real; it resembles us; it is our own invention; its scent is vanity.
