(fragrance notes of Courtesan by Worth; via Perfume-Smellin’ Things)

Not saying that I would like to wear the perfume (in fact, probably not), but what a lovely list of ingredients and with so much potential. That review could be a million times better written. If I were a perfume-maker, I’d hire a poet to write my website reviews.  I’d present them as poems. A good perfume *is* a poem. (Remembering these posts: Lessons for your poem from Perfume FAQ and this found poem.)
