Black Violet by Tom Ford

 Manufactured for a Hedonistic Lifestyle of Sustainable Beauty and Eccentric Elegance

Nothing is ordinary about this heady scent.
Everything is naturally extraordinary.Extraordinary or even extravagant,

How wonderful!

Overt hedonistic sexiness of ....
TOM FORD at his apex designing for GUCCI!
A Humid Hothouse of Florals exuding strong scent of SEX

Beautiful Men lost in boredom of a lush ORCHID filled room or is it Sensual Torpor...
wearing an Iconic GUCCI Black Shirts...and nothing else....
Rubelli VENETIAN opulence takes over
a purple laser cut velvet floral dress languid and luxe...

Charlotte Rampling as imagined by HELMUT NEWTONat the NEGRESCO Hotel 
in "Nice MAD and BAD and Dangerous to know..."

This fragrance promises danger....loudly 
saturated scent which arouses strong sensations,
in its pure essence, it dominates the space.
after seducing you .... it retreats into the shadows of
of those luxurious velvet...

Sweet fruity notes linger ... 
as they deliver us to reality we....luxuriate in spreading "Confiture de myrtilles sauvages",
 wild berry jam over our Blinis 
Realizing that the BELUGA Caviar has long been finished....
ahhhhh how decadent ...

 

      

Parfum Lucifer Sin by Damien Bash

"Please allow me to introduce myself 
I'm a man of wealth and taste 
I've been around for a long, long year 
Stole many a man's soul and faith ..."
"Pleased to meet you 
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah 
But what's confusing you 
Is just the nature of my game"

I expected something with a name 
like LUCIFER...and SIN
would be a dark,luxurious,heavy even Loud...fragrance
much the way Dior's Poison was back in the 80's.
to my surprise...
Parfum Lucifer Sin 
is fruity... sweet .. candied much like a Cherry Flavored Lifesaver...
and almost afraid of it's own power...
Sadly this fragrance fades into a subconscious whisper ...

It doesn't announce itself .. 
linger or stain you with it's "presence".. 
like you think something that with a name like Parfum LUCIFER would. 
He Arrogantly would Declare himself to the World. "I Lucifer."

To quote Nina Hagen in her famous song New York New York...
"I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a star!"

sadly ... 
He has fallen from Grace and his Brilliant Angel Wings have been clipped ... 
Parfum Lucifer Sin 
is for those that secretly want to be the Seducer... the Dominatrix.. the 
Sexual Deviant ... 
but are bit afraid to peer that close over the sexual edge.

I like the fragrance really,enough to purchase it ....
but wish it was 
brilliantly soo much more ...

Private Collection Un Crime Exotique by Parfumerie Generale

This name alone creates a sense of..
Heightened DRAMA.....
something will happen or is about to happen 

...and You are in the middle of it .

Intrigued and lured by its old Hollywood Film Noire name

I ventured to sample it ....

"INDOCHINE" 
might have been a better suited name ....

Allow me to set the film up....The Decadence of the French living in Vietnam and the exploitive evils of Colonialism....
A exotic place all Steamy and Humid!
Languorous visits to hidden 
Mandarin "OPIUM DENS"...
All the while you are floating on a "JUNK" on tranquil waters..... 

When suddenly you are awakened by the rude shots of a gun....

You feel the wetness of  liquid  on your chest. the OPIUM has dulled your sense of pain ....

Is it blood ? NO!

The smell of  fragrance fills the air ...

Your favorite crystal decanter lies on the floor  shattered....

You smile ...

having cheated death one more time ... 
you return to your revelry.

 Then ...

"Un Crime Exotique"  would perhaps make a bit more sense.

I really like this Spiced Tea Infusion scent.

The fragrance is so heady with GINGER and Spice... predominantly Saigon Cinnamon. 
Perhaps this mysterious sounding ingredient ..called 
"Osmanthus"
which in CHINA is infused with green or black tea leaves, to create a scented tea called guì huā chá (OSMANTHUS TEA)
creates the "CRIME EXOTIQUE" in this Potent,Intoxicating and Long Lasting Fragrance....

A 50ml bottle for 100.00 bucks 
not bad ...
I'll add it to my Ever Expanding Fragrance Wishlist
