How long will you vindicate evil and accept the face of the wicked? Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
Crystalline musk, red benzoin, and vanilla husk.

“Women are defined from the outside, in terms of how they seem to men, rather than from the inside, as thinking, feeling subjects. They are not fellow people, not even a different or worse variety of person, but simply the opposite of men, and hence, the opposite of human.
Which leads to the question of how you can have sex with something that isn’t human. In many myths, heterosexuality is portrayed as a kind of legalized bestiality, and attractive women are alluring, predatory, half-human monsters: fairy wives, snake-women, others whose beauty is a thin veneer over their dangerous and alien psyches.”
A sebaceous, slick reptilian perfume: green and black vegetal musks, kelp, sea salt, blackened opoponax, violet leaf, Siamese red benzoin, davana, squid ink, and ambergris accord.
At a late period in the evening, after nearly three hours of experiment, Mrs Hayden having risen, and talking at another table while taking refreshment, a child suddenly called out, Will all the spirits who have been here this evening rap together? The words were no sooner uttered than a hailstorm of knitting-needles was heard, crowded into certainly less than two seconds; the big needle sounds of the men, and the little ones of the women and children, being clearly distinguishable, but perfectly disorderly in their arrival.

Polished mahogany and black tea with a clatter of vanilla husk and oak wood.
The stranger did not lodge in the street; but I opened my doors to the traveler.
Rahat lokum, bitter almond, wild fig, and roasted hazelnuts.
Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Myrrh, red currant, opoponax, and blackberry.

On me, this dries down to a gentle, powdery musk with hints of vanilla. The vanilla is dry rather than dark or foody. The benzoin adds a hint of resinous depth and sweetness, and reminds me a teensy bit of root beer at first. By the time the notes have settled down on my skin though, Love’s Baby Soft and China Rain are coming to mind. Pretty, soft, unobtrusive musk that stays close to the skin.

This dances on the weird (but very good) line between church and ice cream shop. It reminds me of an old-lady-ish version of Dorian or Miskatonic University, but in an appealing, comforting way. It’s addicting and I’ll be wearing it often.
