Summary/Abstract: The fantasy is the human mind’s quality of inventing forms, relations, properties and new actions different from the ones linguistically perceived and described in real life. The fantasy probes the senses at all levels. In Dimitrie Anghel’s poetry the olfactory is emphasized, the fragrance representing the gate to the human consciousness. A certain fragrance can activate very old memories and hidden emotions more intense than images or sounds. It is memorable and dominant; it generates reverie or evocation and opens to a cosmic view, thus stimulating and animating fantasy.
