'Your anointing oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out, therefore the maidens love you' offers the erotic-devotional register of a fragrant, beloved name. Paul's aroma of Christ that draws (or repels) may glance at this beloved-name fragrance. Low: evocative but lacks verbal contact and the sacrificial frame dominates.
