A dangerous liaison of Arabian jasmine, ylang ylang, coconut orchid, mignonette, bittersweet cacao, black amber, dark opium, and smouldering labdanum incense.
"Twilight—and you
Quiet—the stars;
Snare of the shine of your teeth,
Your provocative laughter,
The gloom of your hair;
Lure of you, eye and lip;
Yearning, yearning,
Languor, surrender;
Your mouth,
And madness, madness,
Tremulous, breathless, flaming,
The space of a sigh;
Then awakening—remembrance,
Pain, regret—your sobbing;
And again, quiet—the stars,
Twilight—and you."
