This is the house, the sacred box,
Where, always draped in languorous frocks,
And always at home if someone knocks,
One elbow into the pillow pressed,
She lies, and lazily fans her breast,
While fountains weep their soulfullest:
This is the chamber of Dorothy.
Fountain and breeze for her alone
Sob in that soothing undertone.
Was ever so spoiled a harlot known?
With odorous oils and rosemary,
Benzoin and every unguent grown,
Her skin is rubbed most delicately.
The flowers are faint with ecstasy.
The Scarlet Woman, aglow with sensual indolence: red musk, benzoin, caramel accord, golden honey, and spiced Moroccan unguents.

This smells light and dry, like a summer garden. The jasmine/tuberose are both strong notes on me. It doesn’t work on me, but I could see it really working on a woman who wants to smell classic and feminine. I wouldn’t suggest it for a unisex scent.

This smells very strongly of tuberose on me, particularly when wet. The jasmine only really starts to come out on the dry-down, but I really didn’t detect much of the lime at all, which was kind of disappointing. Still, it is a lovely, light floral, even if it doesn’t have a lot of power… you’ve gotta be very close to the skin to pick it up.

The jasmine in here is lighter balanced neatly against the tuberose. The lime adds a tartness that provides an effervescence to the florals. The lotus breathes a soft finish. It lasts for about 8 hours getting closer and closer to the skin over that time.
