"The nose is a seriously underrated erogenous zone. The smell of a woman can make a permanent impact on a man's psyche. Smells, in general, are incredibly evocative. Some of them just speak to me. Like children's birthday-cake candles-- whenever I smell those, i remember the anticipation and excitement of turning 10, moving into double figures. It's not that a girl who smelled like birthday-cake candles would particularly excite me though. I like a woman to smell sexier, more sophisticated, and fresher. And in order to carry that off, she has to be a woman who makes the most out of her life: She is content and comfortable in her skin, and knows exactly how seductive that is, but she would never intentionally break your heart. She refused to play power games. After all, life is too short. She in a straight talks, shoots from the hip, but carries herself with complete confidence and isn't needy. She can take what she wants whenever she wants it, but can also wait patiently until it arrives. She is completely present and in the moment when you're talking to her, even at a crowed, noisy party. Yet somehow she also manages to sneak you a glance from across the room to let you know she's thinking of you. Most important, she's happy. And that's a rare commodity these days. She wants to connect. To be real. And to have fun-- 'cause fun is underrated in the modern world. And she knows that. She smells alive."

Found this passage when cleaning my room. Read it a few years ago and always thought it was a nice, however fictional, woman to try to encompass.
p.s. It's my 19 birthday today.
