4160 Tuesdays Inevitable Crimes of Passion Parfum extrait - from the Crimes of Passion series
The original fragrance which started the whole project, Inevitable Crimes of Passion is a rich, deep scent that tells a story. It reminds me of a Henry James novel, with an innocent start that makes promises of love, but becomes complicated -passionate, intense and compulsive - and can't ever return to simplicity.
I've deepened it with more mushroom absolute, boletus (the cep or penny bun) to give it a dark, sensual, animalic end. The start though is still Terry's Chocolate Orange - although I didn't put orange or chocolate in it - grapefruit, coffee and woods create that particular illusion.
I see it as an invitation into a Victorian orangery, then into the velvet upholstered parlour for tea, then down to the basement..
