B. Witching

[B. Witching - 26608]
The walls of this small cabin have been painted a matte shade of black, and thin stripes of dark violet stretch from ceiling to floor. Silver-armed sconces supporting ebon satin shades spill pools of light on the floor, and a matching three-armed candlestick sits at the center of a round ebonwood table. Nearby, a lavender velvet-lined tray sits atop a simple display, and a silver-inked black parchment sign is propped alongside a black-paneled cigar box. You also see a matte black violet-trimmed door.

When applied, this perfume will produce the following scent.

First-person: You have a scorched spark of flint in the air about you, haunting like the smoke of an extinguished match, and underneath lies a shroud of grave moss, musty and solemn. Hints of perfumed linen reach spindly fingers upward as if grasping for the top notes as they dissipate, only to fail and sink into a miasma of sweet white lilies and incense.

When applied, this perfume will produce the following scent.

First-person: You have about you the virid aura of absinthe, a poignancy threaded through with thin wisps of wormwood and spiced anise. Breaths of night-blooming jasmine buoy the sharpness, tame it, as tides of warm amber rise in its wake, chased by the darkness of well-seasoned oak.

This ampoule is for perfume or cologne. Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this perfume will produce the following scent.

First-person: You have laced through the air about you the faint scent of black irises, a soft touch against an accompaniment of charred lavender buds, both smoky-sweet and biting. Dark oud seeps from the fractured heart of the fragrance in resinous tendrils that sink and tangle into the base notes of orris root and honey, leading the musk and sweet, heavy florals to abate in a somewhat balanced sillage.
