A person’s name was closely linked with their character. She longs for him, not just for his body, but for his good character. Fragrant oil that has been poured out would fill the room with its fragrance. She longs for him, therefore, as a person. His character and company are as enticing as flowing, fragrant oil.1
3 Tes parfums ont une odeur suave; Ton nom est un parfum qui se répand; C'est pourquoi les jeunes filles t'aiment.
