The whitest of flowers are juxtaposed, in theory, with oud, animalics, and the darkest and smokiest of leathers. But as writers going back to Sophocles have made clear, there is a chasm between theory (appearance to be specific) and reality. Skin chemistry made my reality quite different from the intended objective.

Francesca Bianchi Sticky Fingers
Sticky Fingers by Francesca Bianchi Perfumes is a unisex patchouli fragrance with tobacco, leather, ambery resins, dark muskiness, and sweet orris butter powderiness.
