His caramel-filled and caustic sermons Poured frozen poison in my soul. With endless slandering remarks He tempted Providence; He claimed that beauty’s but a dream; Felt scorn for inspiration; He had no faith in musk or chocolate; He looked on life with ridicule- And in the whole of nature He did not wish to praise a single thing. Frozen white chocolate and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage.

If this year’s Lupercalia fragrance collection was a book, it would be printed in blood-red ink rolled across the soft, stubborn bodies of dream-pale flowers, and stamped onto heavy black paper. We’d pass it around before the letters had a chance to dry, staining fingers with the turn of every page, marking the curious as aspiring erotes, as fellow Lupercalians. The sanguine contents of this text were made to be devoured by the eyes, the skin, the heart, and then the story continued by its readers, passed along to others. (As ever, please do not consume the perfumes internally or apply them to sensitive body parts. Don’t make us regret deploying such a fragrant metaphor, we’re trusting you to hang onto at least that much cognition.)

The surest thing there is is we are riders, And though none too successful at it, guiders, Through everything presented, milk and hide And now the very air, of what we ride. White chocolate, frothed milk, sandalwood, and leather.
-
A deep, animalic whisper: wild patchouli root, fossilized amber, russet musk, clove bud, juniper needles, hay absolute, and earthy oud with a glimmer of yellow crystalline lemon peel. Frederic Remington

Alas, poor Marsh! Dribbles of masticated vanilla pods soaked in ethanol and caked with mud. -
