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 along with a silver-inked black parchment sign.

Greetings.  The offerings you'll find here are the finest perfumes and colognes that alchemy can create.  No expense was spared in the procurement of exotic ingredients and infusions.  I hope you find something you can savor.
Also, I received an unsigned missive a couple of months ago.  Its ramblings were fanciful and mildly disturbing -- something about a horseman or a manhorse -- along with a request for a specific scent.  Undaunted, I have created something that might be suitable.
As a final note, I've heard your requests for larger bottles and am now offering a hundred uses per bottle.  The jewelry remains unchanged.  ~ B. Witching

The dark violet-striped matte black walls enclosing this section of the cabin are warmly lit by the silver-armed sconces set upon them at intervals, and between a pair of the ebon satin-shaded lamps stands a scrollworked black cabinet. On its shelves are several humidors, each with a single cigar stationed before it as a display, while an onyx-hued wicker basket is tucked onto a lower shelf beside a silver-inked black parchment sign. You also see a matte black violet-trimmed door.

This year, I've commissioned a new batch of cigars and imparted them with my own distinct scent and flavoring.  I do hope you enjoy them.  You might care to clasp these in your teeth for a time (say, for instance, ten minutes), but don't forget to ash them regularly lest you burn your clothes.
Also, match boxes are on offer in the basket.

B. Witching, Sitting Room

[B. Witching, Sitting Room - 27594 - ( 8081053 )]
A large credenza occupies the back wall of this cozy room, its surface laden with a variety of herbs, florals, and oils all trapped within stoppered apothecary bottles. A blackened skull on a violet lace doily sits amongst the glass, as does a black onyx mortar and pestle. Perpendicular to the credenza is an arsenic grey velvet-cushioned couch with a high back and sculpted arms.
