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.

smells lovely in the bottle. all buttery and crumbly like… well, exactly like a lemon bar base! didnt really catch any lavender, or much lemon
as soon as it hit my skin oh BOY! i hope this settles down a tad because it is VERY LEMON. can smell the lavender underneath. a very sharp smell. has not transformed into some sort of cleaning product yet so i remain hopeful. perhaps those scents in the bottle Will Out.
a few minutes later and its getting there! some of those buttery notes are coming in, and the VIOLENT LEMON EXPLOSION has chilled out a little. the lavender is coming through much more strongly now. smells best form a distance, it seems like thats where all the buttery notes hang out.
a little while longer and i think we’re in business baby! the buttery is back, and playing nicely with the lemon lavender! let this one sit for a bit before you go out because wow those notes come on strong to start with!
