État Libre d'Orange - Charogne

A bestial little beastie this Charogne. Literally meaning "carcass", this fragrance enhances a naturally sweaty, fertile lily with indolic jasmine, a touch of dirty ginger, and a gamey leather. There is something wonderfully degraded and wilted about this fragrance, like a vase of gently rotting flowers, but also something suggestive of warm, animal flesh. Salt, meat, flowers - all the good things a lover should smell of if they have not bathed, pleasurable markers along the road to true intimacy. The scent builds up into a crescendo of sound, with a slight suffocating effect that makes the wearer feel the palpable threat of the predatory beast behind them, ready to clamp his jaws on their lily white neck. Deliciously, boundlessly erotic. And fun.
