A debauched chypre of black leather, pipe tobacco, cigar smoke, worn wood stages, Cassis liqueur, Brazilian Rosewood, blood oranges, flambéed pears, wilted bouquets, wine-stained satin, tonka, and rare Gesha coffee.
My nerves lust for something new...
It must be extreme, intoxicating like strong tobacco,
to feed the greedy appetites of these wild senses.
Oh, what a kinky rascal I am!
– translated lyrics from cabaret song Starker Tobak by Friedrich Hollaender
Art: She Represents by Jeanne Mammen, 1927
