Perfumes

Sandalwood and oak
Rich spice and damp earth
Earthy sweet tobacco and the bite of wood smoke
Oak-aged whiskey and deeply rich vanilla
Sharp pine and spring rain
Antiseptic eucalyptus
Sweet mint
Woody black peppercorns
And the warm spiciness of cloves
These are the smells of wild and seductive souls
Dancing in overgrown gardens 
Gowned in moonlight
Jeweled in dew
Breathing each other in
Trading flavored kisses
Mingling and merging 
To become something new
A unique, delightful discovery 
Of wild alchemy leaving its memory
Scenting the air with the perfume 
Of love and magic
