Responsive: Design Process 2 - Scent Characteristics


Scent A
Passion (from the Ancient Greek  verb πάσχω (paskho) meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion  compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire  for something.
The term is also often applied to a lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love  – to a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm  or compelling emotion, a positive affinity or love, towards a subject. It is particularly used in the context of romance or sexual desire though it generally implies a deeper or more encompassing emotion than that implied by the term lust .
Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by emotions such as "craving" or "hankering". When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted by philosophers; Hobbes  (1588–1679) asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.

Lust is an emotion or feeling of intense desire in the body. The lust can take any form such as the lust for knowledge, the lust for sex or the lust for power.
