The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries. (GC - Illyria)

I'm so glad the red wine doesn't really come through in this scent, because reds, even sweet reds like Bordeaux, give me massive headaches.

Lady Macbeth is one of my favorite oils and I've gotten so much of it that I've started putting it into lotion.

To me, it smells like the seduction of power. There's a hint of that fake berry smell of black cherry candles, but it's sweet without being waxy and cloying and blends with the stronger scent of currants. It's really a beautiful scent.

Verdict?: Bottle, eventually.
