Alkemia PerfumesMidnight Poppy

A shadowed love-mystery of brooding opium poppies, dark velvet rosewood, poetry stained with blackberry wine, ghostly white santal, midnight-black ebony. "At night in the garden of poppies, Her lips crushing the bloom From the fairest flower there. Love drunk with the wine She has drawn from the poppy’s heart: Love with death at her breasts. Love at the end of night Shaded by drooping poppies; Love with scattered hair And strange stains on her lips. Love with death at her breasts." - Elsa Gidlow Art: "Death the Bride," Thomas Cooper Gotch, 1895
