A dark sensuality of black roses, saffron infused oud, neroli, bergamot, star jasmine, black vanilla, limoo amani, Darjeeling tea, dark aged patchouli, ebony wood, opium, and black amber.
With venom
irresistible
and bittersweet
that loosener
of limbs,
Love,
reptile-like
strikes me down.
- Sappho
Art: The Sin by Franz von Stuck, 1908
