II The Perfume
 Reader, say, have you ever breathed,
With lazy greed and joy, the dusk
Of an old church with incense wreathed,
Or smelt an ancient bag of musk?

It's by such charms the Nevermore
Intoxicates us in the Now �
As lovers to Remembrance bow
Over the bodies they adore.
 From her thick tresses as they fume
(Scent-sack and censer of the room)
A feline, tawny perfume springs.
Her muslins and her velvets smooth
Give off, made pregnant with her youth,
Scents of the fur of prowling things.

 "A Phantom" Les Fleurs du Mal
by Charles Baudelaire
Translation by
Roy Campbell, Poems of Baudelaire

Miz Bella's
~Pretty Poisons~
Scent Whore Editions

 If you have to ask "What is a Scent Whore Edition?" then dahlings~
this type of rebelista blending would not be for you.

Blended with a heavy hand Pretty Poisons are not created in the traditional way of classical perfumery. I tend to not want to even call them "perfumes" ~ perhaps potion would be a better term to use. Pretty Poisons are not your average lighter than air floral blend nor do they smell like a citrus grove or as an ingredient for Grandma's best cookie recipe.

Miz Bella's Pretty Poisons are scandalous, decadent, sinful and stank.
In other words....These are the types of scents that your mama should have warned you about!
