How to Make a Perfume Smell Expensive_edited.jpg

ART BY JAMES TARMY ON BLOOMSBERG

perfume has three chords just as a woman has three personas: the top notes (the aura), the middle notes (the body), and the base notes (the morality). 

 

Each lingers differently as they coexist inside and out, making the scent not only indelible out also a finely captured euphoric experience.

 

WHAT YOU NEED: 
Aurea Perfecta - The top notes. 
Nirium Corpus - The middle notes. 
Moralis Divina - The base notes.

AUREA PERFECTA 
First is to store the top notes, the first impression, carving along the nose as the citrus and floral essence. Cut her hair, and mix it with animal fat. A woman's hair is as good as her reigning crown, and it is often soaked in shea butter, eucalyptus and grapefruit. Carve her lips, and place it in a lemon jar. You would do well to harvest her dreamy almond eyes as it completes the smile that can melt the most cunning heart. The perfume now has two notes forming its aromatic start. 

NIRIUM CORPUS 
Second, the base notes form the longevity of the alluring scent that lasts for hours. Harvest her pure yet wounded heart the same way that the base note contains the heart of the fragrance, obtaining its extracts and mixing it with essential oils of lemongrass and cardamom. Cover her entire skin with animal fat and let it soak her scent for a day. Her sweat is the most potent oil the perfume can savor as it will make up eight notes that lingers across what meets more than a short impression: her very core.

MORALIS DIVINA 
We cannot forget the base notes, the scent that lasts after the perfume wears out as memories of her become the foundation of her beauty: her soul. Let her taste the kiss of poison and gaze at her as she slowly succumbs to death. Separate her blood from her veins, and dissect her from muscle to bone. What she stands for, who she is, what she believes in will be carved into the empty bottle as her spirit fills the rest of the three notes, honoring the perfume with an illuminating finish. 

From then on, you have concocted the most prized possession that seals what entirely means to amplify the ethereal being of a woman and encapsulates her spirit through her scent. Seeps into the bodies of the mass with orgies glamouring from skin to skin as one embellishes a cloth from her fragrance. In doing so, with the lingering scent of divine feminine attributes to flourish in, one may finally be loved. 

Because to be a woman is to be someone worthy of complete and eternal devotion.
