I think you should go with whatever smells good to you at the time. It's more important to focus on your words and actions. Be unambiguous and strong.

In The Bottle: Smells like Christian Dior's Poison, only..better. I mean, it smells exactly like it in a basic kind of way, but it has a far darker and more potent edge to it. It's also a lot stronger. On My Wrist: Almost the same as in the bottle, only some of the crispness of the lime fades. Something else fruity is brought out of it. Dry: Vividly fruity and luscious, and still very sinister. How Long It Lasts: All day, but generally not into the night and following morning. What It Mixes With Well: Anathema & Queen Mab. How It Makes Me Feel: Sexual, like a temptress, but very classy at the same time. Images It Brings Up: Ornate glass bottles lined on a shelf, full of toxic and deadly potions, each one more beautiful than the last. Dew-specked fruit on the vine, twisted into a thorn bush. A victorian woman in a tea rose & very light blue striped dress. Venom takes the scent of Poison and pushes it to the next level of wickedness. Subtle and bold at the same time, Venom is highly enjoyable.

In The Bottle: Intensely sweet, almost syrupy kind of scent with a heavy contrast between the dark, crisp background odour and the floral notes. On My Wrist: Still dark, with the flower odour enhanced and brought to the front. Dry: An almost incense-like, resinous odour is created as it reacts with my body chemistry. It smells faintly of florals and smoke and is extremely rich. How Long It Lasts: Anathema frequently lasts all day and night til the next morning on me. What It Mixes With Well: Venom & Dracul. How It Makes Me Feel: Decadent, gothic, sensual and beautiful. Like I want to put on my heavy makeup, a black victorian dress with veil, and drape myself over a tombstone. Images It Brings Up: Ornate stone crosses, tombs, cathedrals, vampires, black or purple flowers trailed on a wrought iron trellis. Anathema is easily one of my favourite parfumes of all time.
