Opening sentence: The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.

Oscar Wilde's brilliance will never leave me! A perfection of a classic about vanity, beauty, youth, corruption, reputation, and morality. This message is needed desperately, especially in the times that we are in with social media. This goes to show that classics are truly timeless and can be applicable now matter the era. If you are trying to get into classics, I think that this is a perfect start. If you are a classics reader, you need to read this. Wilde's writing style was so gorgeous. I cannot wait to read more.
