Pink Pepys

Possets Spring Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)

These are the most sticky and gooey smelling of the bunch. Unabashed sugary sensation with sticky over-the-top fruity associations, this is a mouth melting scent, and you want it. Nothing instructional, uplifting, "good for you" or virtuous in Pink Pepys, just all sin and the most amusing and satisfying degradation you can enjoy.

The estimable Samuel Pepys, was very handy with the gossip and innuendo. Here is what he had to say about one Easter in 1666:

"...So walked into the Park to the Queene's chappell, and there heard a good deal of their mass, and some of their musique, which is not so contemptible, I think, as our people would make it, it pleasing me very well; and, indeed, better than the anthem I heard afterwards at White Hall, at my coming back. I staid till the King went down to receive the Sacrament, and stood in his closett with a great many others, and there saw him receive it, which I did never see the manner of before. But I do see very little difference between the degree of the ceremonies used by our people in the administration thereof, and that in the Roman church, saving that methought our Chappell was not so fine, nor the manner of doing it so glorious, as it was in the Queene's chappell. Thence walked to Mr. Pierces, and there dined, I alone with him and her and their children: very good company and good discourse, they being able to tell me all the businesses of the Court; the amours and the mad doings that are there; how for certain Mrs. Stewart do do everything with the King that a mistress should do; and that the King hath many bastard children that are known and owned, besides the Duke of Monmouth. After a great deale of this discourse I walked thence into the Parke with her little boy James with me, who is the wittiest boy and the best company in the world..."
