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.
White gardenia, ambergris bouquet, lavender fougere, orange blossom, melissa, tobacco flower, coriander, ebony wood, ylang ylang, absinthe and aged whiskey.

I am so pleased to receive an imp of this Because I never would have assumed these scents together to be so enchanting ! I am not usually drawn to sweet, more earthy. But this is a mixture of madness and decadence all in one. Thank you black Phoenix! This is my personality scent hands down ~ ❤️

I usually cannot stand pepper in a perfume but this one is so good. It smells a lot like froot loops with a soft pepper note keeping it from being too sweet.

If you took a bunch of candy, be soaked it in water, them imagine the smell of that syrupy sweetness. Candy water!! That’s what I think of. Sweet, juicy, fruity, tart. Fades into a light single fruit note smell.

Smells like gummybears. Definately gummybears. This scent is extremely fruity and smells like a lot of orange.

A creamy, juicy, bright orange scent that’s pretty much pure orange blossom on me, but it has a pretty, juicy feel to it as well. Like orange blossoms floating in orange juice. Simple and cheerful.

Definitely orange. Definitely fruity. The peppercorn is very subtle, but it does help to round this one out. Still very orange, though.
