The Sweet Smell of Sin

Sheer sensuous fantasy. Putain des Palaces is irresistible seduction ? a soft smudge of lipstick, the rustle of lace. Like the intimate ritual of a femme fatale who penetrates anything she desires, Putain des Palaces is intriguing, unique and utterly reminiscent of generations of feminine self-preparation. Rose is a charming, sweet flower, seemingly clean and pure until violet creeps into the frame. Under the purple haze of violet, rose transforms and begins to grow less demure and more aggressive, increasingly bitter and sweet, while violet is a provocative, piquant, Puck-like character that tantalizes and inspires us to embrace our innermost desires. Leather emerges immediately as one element of fantasy, the skin-scented note binding us to our exploring deep desire. Lily of the valley is as pale and pure as a baby-soft, luminous patch of private skin. Tangerine and ginger communicate the dulcet tang of the taste of flesh, while rice powder interferes, a layer of wearable scent, a downy texture that rests on skin and melds with skin's natural, unalterable flavor. Amber is salty, fresh sweat, the precursor to the animal smell that grows stronger after a desire has been satisfied. This fragrance paints an intimate portrait; a boudoir, fingers tightening on a leatherette sofa and the palpable pulse of lust. Putain des Palaces is a fantasy of temptation, of yielding to desire, of the sensuality of silk sheets. A sultry, addictive fall from grace that will make you tumble head over heels and into it's sweet embrace.
