Jezebel - A queen of Israel, but originally a Phoenician princess who worshipped Astarte rather than the Hebrew God. The phrase 'painted Jezebel' possibly refers to the Biblical passage in which she applies her makeup before being thrown out a window to be eaten by dogs. Her story is several things at once, a woman who never accepted the religion of her husband and who was doomed to be remembered unfavorably, a woman who was absolutely corrupted by absolute power. In any case, any scheming or ambitious woman, or faintly sexual woman, is viewed as a 'jezebel' at the drop of a hat. We're embracing the sexual side with this perfume in her name. A faintly leathery accord of ambrette, antique cade, beeswax, myrrh, tolu and benzoin is the base for a hedonistic jasmine heart, which contains the round-bottomed sinister sweetness of oleander absolute in addition to jasmine grandiflorum and jasmine sambac. The top is smooth antique nutmeg and heavily diluted mimosa. Highly suggestive and narcotic pretty poison. Purchase 5 ml for $30.00, or 1 sample for $6.00
