Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.

The site divides them by . . . theme? maybe? You can purchase Asphodel from Rappacini’s Garden, lovingly described as “The grey and ghostly flower that fills the fields of Hades.” Or you can get 5ml of any one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Or maybe a Love Potion, perhaps Bordello — “A decadent, deep perfume, lusty and luxuriant. The scent evokes images of velvet-lined Old West cathouses, tightly laced corsets, rustling petticoats and coquettish snarls of pleasure. Bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant.”

What exactly do bawdy plums smell like? I really want to know.
