B. Witching, Perfumes

[B. Witching, Perfumes - 26608 - ( 8081052 )]
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.

This flask 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 about you a rather alkaline fragrance, base and nearly flat with the dust of long-cool embers and ash made even more so by crystalline notes of briny sea salt. The grey head notes shift downward into a bitter-sweet infusion of sloe berries, their plumy redolence sour and vaguely floral as a sillage of purple hyacinth steals the last breath of the perfume.

Like shadows shifting in the dead of night, currents of smoke trickle into the heart of the fragrance, redolent of fire-scorched timber and earth, before merging with the darkness in a finish teased toward the dawn by traces of pale tuberose.

[B. Witching, Cigars -26609 - ( 8081438 )]
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.
