Upon the next stage, a primitive cage has been erected. It is made of heavy, dark sticks bound with strips of deep brown leather. The stage is as dark as pitch, and from the shadows, you hear soft hissing, spitting, and an ominous chorus of weird rattling sounds. You approach with some trepidation, and peer between the bars. Your attention is seized by writhing forms on the straw bottom of the cage. As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you realize that the floor is seething with serpents, dark and colorful, languid and large, swift and small. You hear a sultry chuckle, and you see bright, unblinking emerald eyes staring at you from the corner of the cage. A woman crawls through the snakes, her scaled body as sinuous and lissome as the creatures that share her home. She reaches towards you languorously with her sharp-clawed hands and sighs.
A sensual blend of twisting, exotic, serpentine oils: black amber, oakmoss, green sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine sambac, gardenia, orange pulp, black cardamom, vanilla, blackberry, black musk, blackened vanilla husk, white honey, ti leaf, and ginger.

Romans is absolutely beautiful. It starts out with a sweet blast of almond, but settles into a gorgeous, almost heartbreakingly realistic rose, with a whisper of almond in the background and some fig and just the faintest hint of cardamom. Rose does not always work on me, but it’s stunning here.

Sweet and warm. Floral without turning into powder on my skin, which is awesome because most anything with roses or almonds goes to powder on me and makes me smell like an old lady. I will be buying again.

This is a lovely scent, and for such a good cause, too. While wet it is all almond & fig – delightfully sweet with a hint of spice. On my skin it dries down to a warm spice with soapy rose notes and sweetness around the edges. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists!
