Right Now

The song "Right Now" is a 60s jazz/swing standard reimagined by the high priestess of goth, Siouxsie Sioux. I don't know if this is the inspiration for this scent, but it is fitting: a bit retro-mod rebellion, a bit New Wave decadence. I hate the phrase "old lady" as a descriptor for fragrance - as though "old ladies" weren't at one point (perhaps still!) sexy women who wanted to smell carnal and alluring. Right Now is one such retro-stunner, vintage and powdery and floral and musky and is the kind of scent that's smacked with the "old lady" label as a pejorative by people who don't know better. It's not. It's seductive and sensual in a classic sense, for women who don't mind smelling made-up and a bit unclean. Amber and velvety musk dominate the composition, peppered with hints of florals and woods. It's old-world and also "Right Now" - perfect.
