Here's the smell of the blood still. all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand

The quote "Here's the smell of the blood still. all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand" is from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Lady Macbeth speaks these haunting words in Act 5, Scene 1, as she sleepwalks and tries to wash imaginary bloodstains from her hands. This quote is a powerful and poignant reminder of the guilt and remorse that Lady Macbeth feels for her role in the murder of King Duncan.
