So, here it goes. I have done all the research I can. There is more I could look at, but I dont have time. I'm cut off from the library.

Research is only a delaying tactic, like this post. I still feel like outting this off, but I can't. I need to start ritting this now, damnit!

But first: a perfume review:

THE LIVING FLAME:


They pass before me, these Eyes full of light,
Eyes made magnetic by some angel wise;
The holy brothers pass before my sight,
And cast their diamond fires in my dim eyes.

They keep me from all sin and error grave,
They set me in the path whence Beauty came;
They are my servants, and I am their slave,
And all my soul obeys the living flame.

Beautiful Eyes that gleam with mystic light
As candles lighted at full noon; the sun
Dims not your flame phantastical and bright.

You sing the dawn; they celebrate life done;
Marching you chaunt my soul's awakening hymn,
Stars that no sun has ever made grow dim!

A luminescent red scent: breathless with passion, flickering with desire, and glowing with ardent and reverential love.

I like this alright. This is the first limited edition scent that I've bought. I had no real idea whagt I was getting into, and I don't remember now why I decided to take the plunge, so to speak. It is pretty rose-y, but with a nice musk at the bottom. At first, and in the bottle, it is very rosy- and fruity, but after a little while, the musk undertone starts to stand out. It really is like a fire: the rose and fruit (I could be crazy about that) are like the tongues of the flames, and the musk if the burning hot embers underneath.

I think I'm going to hold on to it for now :)
