Viens sur mon coeur, âme cruelle et sourde,
Tigre adoré, monstre aux airs indolents;
Je veux longtemps plonger mes doigts tremblants
Dans l’épaisseur de ta crinière lourde;
Dans tes jupons remplis de ton parfum
Ensevelir ma tête endolorie,
Et respirer, comme une fleur flétrie,
Le doux relent de mon amour défunt.
Je veux dormir! dormir plutôt que vivre!
Dans un sommeil aussi doux que la mort,
J’étalerai mes baisers sans remords
Sur ton beau corps poli comme le cuivre.
Pour engloutir mes sanglots apaisés
Rien ne me vaut l’abîme de ta couche;
L’oubli puissant habite sur ta bouche,
Et le Léthé coule dans tes baisers.
À mon destin, désormais mon délice,
J’obéirai comme un prédestiné;
Martyr docile, innocent condamné,
Dont la ferveur attise le supplice,
Je sucerai, pour noyer ma rancoeur,
Le népenthès et la bonne ciguë
Aux bouts charmants de cette gorge aiguë
Qui n’a jamais emprisonné de coeur.

Come, lie upon my breast, cruel, insensitive soul,
Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
In the thickness of your heavy mane,
To bury my head, full of pain
In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
To inhale, as from a withered flower,
The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.
I wish to sleep! to sleep rather than live!
In a slumber doubtful as death,
I shall remorselessly cover with my kisses
Your lovely body polished like copper.
To bury my subdued sobbing
Nothing equals the abyss of your bed,
Potent oblivion dwells upon your lips
And Lethe flows in your kisses.
My fate, hereafter my delight,
I’ll obey like one predestined;
Docile martyr, innocent man condemned,
Whose fervor aggravates the punishment.
I shall suck, to drown my rancor,
Nepenthe and the good hemlock
From the charming tips of those pointed breasts
That have never guarded a heart.
Red musk and sweat-damp golden skin musk with labdanum, golden amber, nutmeg, tobacco absolute, black orchid, and hemlock accord.

i got this as a sample and it gives the vibes of a sweet/sharp peachy rock candy scent and i love it!

This smells like a sharp sweet peach musk giving the vibes of a warm spring day, very nice.

I love this! A light, sweet, fresh peach scent. Perfect for summer. Currently ordering a back up of this one.

I received this as a free imp. I’m not usually a fan of foodie scents, which give me migraines. But this one is not a problem! The peach is hardly overwhelming and blends into the amber and musk really well. The musk isn’t overpowering and really just adds complexity to the sweetness. While sweet, its not overpoweringly so.

This scent lasts forever on my skin. I wouldn’t say that it was fresh peach on me… Abstractly, I’d say it was as if you could blend peaches and sunsets. It was far to rich for me, personally.

I love the foodie scents amd this one did not disappoint!

Wet, this is SUCH a juicy peach. Immediately made me want to eat one. I could practically taste it. It goes very bright, a bit sharp. It’s fruity and summery, like the first part of summer when spring is just moving off. Very lovely! Does seem to fade quick, though.
Where I’d wear it: Biking on a warm afternoon, through a cute city

Sweet Peach, I don’t get any musk until after several hours. Seriously love this scent!

I found this imp while moving along with a few extra I had tucked away and I am so glad I tried it out. I put it on the other day for work and it smells great! I am a big bearded guy and had no idea this was supposed to be feminine. I love the mix of smells; I actually feel more attractive just wearing it. I am buying it now without hesitation.

I’m not fond of fruity perfumes, especially not peach, so I was hesitant to try this Imp when I received it with another musky perfume I’d ordered. But this has a very charming, soft smell and I’m sure someone who likes peach-scented perfumes will love this! The musk and amber really help to make the fruit smell more gentle.
