Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) Lupercalia : A Ballad of Death Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)

Then I beheld, and lo on the other side
My lady's likeness crowned and robed and dead.
Sweet still, but now not red,
Was the shut mouth whereby men lived and died.
And sweet, but emptied of the blood's blue shade,
The great curled eyelids that withheld her eyes.
And sweet, but like spoilt gold,
The weight of colour in her tresses weighed.
And sweet, but as a vesture with new dyes,
The body that was clothed with love of old.

Red rose and white magnolia in a tomb of vetiver, oak leaf, mahogany, and Somalian olibanum.
