Sometimes I would venture from my sepulchre to the jazz of night Paris, where having gathered the colours, I would think them over in front of the fire. I could be seen walking through a funeral corridor of my house and descending down a black spiral of steep stairs; rushing underground to Montmartre, all impatience to see the fiery rubies of the Moulin Rouge cross. I wondered thereabouts, then bought a ticket to watch frenzied delirium of feathers, vulgar painted lips and eyelashes of black and blue.
Naked feet, and thighs, and arms, and breasts were being flung on me from bloody-red foam of translucent clothes. The tuxedoed goatees and crooked noses in white vests and toppers would line the hall, with their hands posed on canes. Then I found myself in a pub, where the liqueurs were served on a coffin (not a table) by the nickering devil: “Drink it, you wretched!” Having drunk, I returned under the black sky split by the flaming vanes, which the radiant needles of my eyelashes cross-hatched. In front of my nose a stream of bowler hats and black veils was still pulsing, foamy with bluish green and warm orange of feathers worn by the night beauties: to me they were all one, as I had to narrow my eyes for insupportable radiance of electric lamps, whose hectic fires would be dancing beneath my nervous eyelids for many a night to come.

This is a strong lavender, green, & wood scent. It lasts all day on me. It is fragrant like am expensive perfume. Towards the end of the day it smells of woods, & cologne.

Dearest BPAL and Victoria Elizabeth Black,
You have made the woodsy fragrance of my dreams! A dark forest complimented by a mild sweetness, the lavender, mahogany, oudh, teakwood, and musk really stand out here. As it wears on, the ivy, leather, and ti leaf linger behind the sensual woody profile. This is what I want to smell like everyday. Please keep this one in your line of scents! Additionally, if you make a beard oil and bar soap version of Black Haüs, I would buy them in a heartbeat!
Amazing job as always! All the best!
