"Poisonous" Comment - the Second
Well, I wanted it this way, so I’ll continue testing these oh-so-poisonous fragrances! I wonder which marketing strategist was at work here:

“Hey, let’s do something really innovative and unusual, with poison associations and psychedelic patterns. And like with a boy band, we should satisfy the needs of a lot of people.
Um, yeah, and with Poppy Soma we now have something for the incense lovers. Okay, it’s not really incense-y, but like with the boy band, we don’t want to scare anyone. But it is a bit smoky, and we’ve got leather in there too. Not too much, but maybe the dull, overly sweet flowers will balance that out, it should appeal to the girls! Hence the pink plastic Tiare flower. But hey, if all else fails, the labdanum will cover it all up like a fluffy blanket and everyone will be happy. No, the pepper thing was just a marketing gimmick, you know, like the curry and all that stuff! But it’s totally cool, right?!”

Oh yes, I’m getting old!

Wow. I ordered the giant Quartana sampler set, and honestly didn't pick this one out beforehand as something that would part

Peppered smoke with bright floral accents. Perhaps the lightest Quartana fragrance. The association with "poison" doesn't arise.

Something to play with (leather whip), something to smell (frankincense), something to cuddle (dark rose), and something sweet (gardenia). I want one too!

Interesting scent! Curry starts it off, and then the companions Gardenia, Tuberose, and Rose join in! Plus a hint of incense!

Jasmine + tuberose overkill and honey honey honey...so dripping sweet that it almost feels sour. Piercing, toxic narcotic.

Curry ruins everything, otherwise it's actually a lovely scent with fruity bubblegum tuberose, a bit of oud, incense, and amber notes.

1Thousand years of incense in a cold+moldy church+ancient layers of wax+half-decayed flowers in stagnant water, sweetness+spiciness, wood=disgusting-pressing-urine-like.

Intensely floral, quite sweet with a hint of incense and a balsamic softness. It doesn't feel toxic to me at all. Great women's fragrance.
