What I fo...You are so clever my little perfumista. What I found was not merely a pun, but a rhetorical literary device known as a "Roman ironic (pun)". This type of irony is classical in nature, that is to say, the words express the exact opposite of their meaning and/or intent. <BR/><BR/>Your use of "celebrated" is quite ironic, given the fact that you have peppered your review of this fragrance with words like "unsuspecting", "soft" and "deceptively subtle".<BR/><BR/>The pun appears with the use of the word "niche". "Niche" can be used in describing an "ecological niche". In this context, "niche" is detailing the relationship that one organism has with another in the same habitat. You described vividly the relationship you have with this particular fragrance, basing it on the structure, physiology and behavior. You are nearly personifying it and giving it, therefore, ecological qualities.<BR/><BR/>Can a brother get some perfume???The Federalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110704854365491546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821090662016626909.post-84161783527651224392007-12-08T05:55:00.000-07:002007-12-08T05:55:00.000-07:00Ok, this scent sounds magnificent so I would love ...Ok, this scent sounds magnificent so I would love to win.
