Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  'Ka taea e ngā kakara putiputi te tango tau i te wahine' E rua ngā mea i roto i te ora e homai ana ki ahau te whakamana wawe: te kakara me te waina. Engari i te wā e pirau ana tētahi o oku niho, e nui haere ana hoki oku pauna, ko te tahi atu - ahakoa te kino o taku huruhuru - ka ahuareka ahau. He pai te taha o ahau. I mohiotia a Cleopatra mo tana aroha ki te hinu kakara, he nui te whakamahi i te lotus me te hinu rohi ki tona ngutu o runga. 'E mōhio ana mātou i hanga e ia ōna ake kakara, ā, ka mau tonu ki a ia hei whakanui i ōna kaha whakawai,' e ai ki a Mandy Aftel, he kaituhituhi o te kakara, he kaituhi hoki o Fragrant: The Secret Life Of Scent.

'He tino kaha te mana o te hinengaro ā-hinengaro. Mēnā e pai ana mātou ki te kakara o tētahi tangata, ka tino ātaahua rātau ki a mātou, ā, ka pēnei anō hoki,' e ai ki a Roja Dove, kaihoahoa kakara matua i Urban Retreat Perfumerie i Harrods. No reira, ehara i te mea maere te nui o te wā me te moni e pau ana i nga kaihanga kakara ki te hanga kakara e whakaoho ana i nga whakaaro pai o te makona me te hiahia. Kei kona ano etahi o nga kai e kitea ana e whakaohooho ana i etahi atu urupare kaha o te hinengaro. He nui te wā me te moni e pau ana i ngā kaihanga kakara ki te waihanga kakara e whakaoho ana i ngā āhuatanga pai o te makona me te ātaahua. 'Ko te vanilla, he mea hanga i roto i te maha o nga kakara, he kakara e tino hono ana ki te ahuareka,' e ai ki te Ahorangi Jacob.
