🥀 The Inspiration: Baudelaire
A poet dying in a damp Parisian garret. The Cursed Poet is the Gothic version. It mixes the Absinthe with Damp Wood, Opium Smoke, and Mold (Patchouli). It is melancholic and dark.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Rot and Spirit
The scent opens with Cold Gin. The heart is Wormwood and Dead Flowers. The base is Patchouli and Incense. It is haunting.
