Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

I can't stop applying this perfume to my hands, wrists, shoulders, breasts, neck, and earlobes. My favorite place to spread it is the warm hollow between my clavicle and my shoulder, so I can just turn my head and get a heady whiff of it rising from my skin. Thank heavens it lasts a full twelve hours and more, or my skin would be drenched with the oil! The scent is linear, with sillage of three or four feet but not room-filling. That's fine with me, because it means I can enjoy it all the time, everywhere, even buildings where perfume is normally banned. It's very difficult to identify the individual notes in this fragrance. The delicate floral sweetness must be vanilla orchid -- not sweet gourmand vanilla, but the delicate, almost powdery floral scent that hints of the full-flavored vanilla bean it will birth. The orris root is that almost-iris note on which the orchid scent rests. I think I smell honeysuckle, or the elusive scent of heliotrope. Mmmmm... maybe primrose? Yes, that's it, primroses! (Which I never see listed as a perfume note, but the scent of the wild yellow primroses is one of the loveliest. Sometimes an over-bred supermarket primrose will have a faint vestige of that scent... I always buy those ones.) There's honey in here, too; or perhaps I should say, nectar, because honey is heavy and cloying, while this is the lightest and airiest sweetness imaginable. Thank you, Sharra Lamoureaux! This scent is a masterpiece!

I really, really like this one. It is rich and sweet but not too sweet. To be honest, no one note stands out to me, except maybe the incense, but it isn’t smoky, here it smells more like incense being gently warmed, not burned. I can barely make out the vanilla and the praline. It all just comes together to make this wonderful, slightly dusty (orris root?) scent. *This does NOT smell like Silken Tent in any way, yet they remind me of each other. If you like ST,, definitely try this one.

There's a warm freshness to this fragrance. It's sweet and incense-y, but the citrus in here lifts to make it appropriate for any occasion. I'm not a fan of overly gourmand scents but the caramel and praline are so nicely balanced that it comes across as warm and cozy rather than syrupy. This lasted surprisingly long on me, and I could still smell whiffs of it after 12 hours.

This is one of the few citrus scents I love. It's juicy and sweet, but the incense keeps things interesting. I think this perfume really shines during autumn and winter. It's good for casual wear, but it's also classy and luxurious - I can imagine a high class courtesan wearing this. Lasts all day, certainly noticeable but not overpowering.

a bag of pixie stix meet some incense sticks and both start fornicating on sheets that haven’t been washed in a minute. this is sexy, like, really sexy, i could wear this whenever honestly.
