Am I alone in thinking that the verb "to perfume" (used in the intransitive, as has been suggested here, "the bowers are perfuming") is just about as grating as "to medal" or, worse, "to podium?" It won't be long at this rate before we start to hear such horrors as "she was such a great athlete that for many years she was regularly podiuming..."

'Perfuming" might rhyme, but it don't chime... (See what I did there...?)
