1047. I also smelled a sweet wine-like aroma, and this is the odor of those who from some acceptable love flatter those whom they love. Thus there is sincerity in it, but clothed in a formal beauty. From this comes the wine-like odor, varying according to qualities. This and the previous one, I have smelled. 1748, 27 February.
