For our readers who were not at the Elements Showcase and are wondering why we all of us who attended flipped for Dita Von Teese’s upcoming perfume Erotique, it is because it is sexy as all get out. Dita Von Teese's fourth perfume is a carnal blend of sensuality with an exquisite note of leather that evokes erotic with a nod to naughty. The composition is a tantalizing reflection of arousement.
As Von Teese notes, "Erotique was created with my desire for something vastly distinct from most commercial fragrances. An elixir of alchemy, Erotique was inspired by a time when perfume meant something different than it does now. Vintage erotic books and art sparked my obsession with fetishistic elements, and for decades I've been fascinated with finding a scent that captures the carnality of those risqué erotic stories of the past.”
Erotique opens with opulent rose petals, accompanied by spicy, smoky pepper and unexpected coriander. In its depths, the heart of the fragrance develops with an exceptional magnetism. As the decadent essence of Bulgarian rose mingles with contrasting animalistic leather notes, the fascinating scent composition unfolds with stimulating musk, warm sandalwood, aromatic cedar and exotic Gaiac wood.
Von Teese continues, “I love beguiling facets of sexuality, from dominance to vulnerability, and Erotique is a heady mélange of opposites. Its poetic contrast of leather accords and burnt embers with rare voluptuous rose is not for the faint of heart; it is intoxicating, animalistic and intense, potent weaponry for a maestra of the erotic arts"
