The seven deadly sins - Lust
One summer night I dreamed veils of rum in caramel-brown blurred drops. I lay on the turf outside in the garden and peered into your room through empty whiskey bottles like opera glasses. Your lampshade of dark tobacco leaves danced distorted shadows of leather on the walls of drunken wood. There was the scent of your almond eyes, the liqueur smile of your cherry-red lips, like mist on my thoughts. All the air was the breath of moist warm balm. I crept my eyes across oak barrel floors at the pace of a staggering predator until they solidified into wax.

According to Aichi Liu from OM Parfum in Taiwan, she only uses high-quality raw materials for her EdPs and extraits, which she produces by hand in small batches. In the '7 Sins' series, she dedicates herself thematically to the seven deadly sins.
"Lust", the lust, obviously refers to the original meaning of the term, debauchery in various situations in life, hedonism and desire. It is an accord of rum and caramel that opens the fragrance like burning drops of a fire tongs punch. Soon, earthy-peaty (whiskey, patchouly) and warm-spicy-woody (dark tobacco leaf, oak barrel) aromas appear underneath, forming the dominant projection surface on which the other facets are depicted. Resinous almond and cherry notes resonate, presumably from the medicinal benzoin in combination with the vanilla-like tolu balsam and the black cherry liqueur on the honey-like labdanum. They shimmer similarly to the creamy sandalwood. Discreet animalistic and subtle suede notes (the desire) form the counterpart to the abundance of resinous-balsamic aromas on the alcohol-impregnated woods and tobacco leaves, which gradually congeal into beeswax. The indulgence in lust projects moderately over several hours.
