Smells like dried flowers, rotting vegetation, and spectral flora; the name screams it, even though I didn’t catch it at first: Tomb of Flowers, or better yet, Flower of the Tomb. It’s the goziest perfume I’ve ever tried, and I confess, I use it compulsively despite some base notes that repel me. Repulsions work like ugliness: a few (very few) instead of repelling actually attract. It’s not pleasant to the nose, but it is incredibly sophisticated; you can’t expect anything less from a conceptual fragrance. Called Flower of the Tomb and smelling of rose, geranium, sage, thyme, and black currants, yes, but dead. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille would praise what was achieved, though he’d undoubtedly synthesize it better; however, he would understand, without a doubt, the intent of its creators. It’s decadent and vampiric, and while sinister, it excites the senses. In its brighter moments, it smells a bit like potting soil (probably the geranium), and in its dips, like moldy flowers. A delicacy for off-kilter noses who enjoy polymorphic and amoral scents. Lestat would wear this perfume, and so would Felicity Blanc. Chapeau.
