1:3 The fragrance of the man’s cologne suggests sweet smells of love, indicating that the woman wants to get physically closer to him. • all the young women love you: The young man’s allure is not only physical. He has an excellent reputation—the chorus of women expresses their respect and adoration for him in 1:4. By highlighting the attention he receives from other women, the woman makes it clear that her love is not blind, and that she feels fortunate to be the one whose love the man returns.
