Wow, I really enjoy this poem
especially the use of imagery (both visual and olfactory imagery). The penultimate line is condense yet tantalizing enough for me
. What makes this poem great is the word "cologne", just this word has enough provoked a lot of emotions. I also have a suggestion is that you could use "strange men" instead of "a strange man" and change "he" to "they" (line 3). Because, I opine that this could imply the ambivalent conflict inside the speaker (love him or leave him) and the obsession of the speaker towards her lover as everyone in the street reminds her of him. But that's just my opinion! :3 Great job!
