'So then, my brothers, let us give off a sweet spiritual fragrance, a perfume that each one produces for themselves by a blending of the virtues, as a truly master perfumer. This perfume is blessed. This perfume is sweet to God. This perfume attracts angels, but repels demons. With this perfume women ran behind Jesus, as it says in the Song of Songs [1,4 LXX].'

Makes me think too of our heart-felt prayers rising like incense to heaven.
