Kelsie Kimberlin has dropped her new song, “Perfume.” It is sort of a quiet song, that doesn’t have the need to be loud. Instead, it is soft and hypnotic. It is quietly powerful in its own way. This song is not at all your regular pop anthem. It is more of a slow-burning scent that stays back.


The song “Perfume” is inspired by the book and the movie of the same name. It speaks of how love lingers and memory holds on to us like a fragrance. The music production of this song is very polished and gentle. It doesn’t overpower the mood. Instead, it highlights the Kelsie’s vocals.

“A romantic song that is a little haunting and a tad bit mysterious enough to pull you in.”


If we look closely at the lyrics of “Perfume” it is filled with metaphors. These metaphors are used perfectly throughout. Kelsie uses scent as a symbol for love that stays back with us, even after the person’s gone. There are lines like, “It’s your perfume that I still wear” and “I smell you in the air.” These aren’t just pretty lines. They also beautifully capture the unseen weight of the memory. This song is not about a huge heartbreak or dramatic goodbyes. It is about how even the smallest things, like familiar scent can bring back the long forgotten memories.


The video of this song is shot in Kyiv. This adds up to a haunting visual element. It is truly simple and elegant. However, it doesn’t distract you from the song. This is definitely a kind of a song that stays with you, just like the scent of someone you are not ready to forget.
