The Voluptuous Horror
Fragrance notes
Character
The powdery side of this scent can feel heavy and a little dated to modern noses. It leans into an old fashioned cosmetic style that some will find cloying rather than comforting. The floral blend is dense, and the fresh accord does not lift it enough to feel airy.
Lilac and violet sit beside jasmine in a mix that smells more garden than bouquet. Smoke wraps around the petals and gives the flowers a charred edge. The green facet adds a crushed stem quality that keeps the white floral notes from turning soapy.
Woody undertones ground the composition so it never becomes pure candy or pure soap. The smoke is prominent, yet it stays close to the petals instead of overtaking them. It is a bold mix that feels more suited to a niche shelf than a department store counter.
Wear this when the evening calls for something dramatic and a little eccentric. It fits a person who enjoys standing out in a black velvet coat and dark lipstick. Autumn nights and dimly lit venues are the right backdrop for such a distinctive personality.
