Anita (eau de parfum) Esse Strikes the Notes

Floral

Flowers head notes, synonymous of freedom and happiness, contrasted by the bleak pepper of the heart notes, that infuse the essence, drowning out the harmony.

Obvious analogy between notes of the fragrance and personalities.

How appearances can be deceptive?

Maybe, we are more than a look. Probably, nobody is what it seems to be.

The appearance changes ourselves, it strips and clouds our soul that represent us as what we aren’t.

It makes us, what the interlocutor decides we are.

Expressing our inherent emotions and the clearness of our state of mind, is the talent of strong people. To catch them is the talent of who would like to move on.

Challenge the role of the appearance, have fun cheating with it.

“I’m fine, or maybe, save me!”

Top notes: Tuberose, Rangoon creeper, Gardenia, Orange blossom, Jasmine, Cyclamen, Violet Heart notes: Black pepper, Lily of the valley, Rose, Peony, Sandalwood, Cashmere wood Base notes: White musk, White amber, Ambrette seeds, Vanilla berry

Rum and Cigarettes.

Character: Gallagher.

Warnings: NSFW, female young reader, age gap (early 20 vs 52 y.o.), strangers to lovers, smoking, fingering, unprotected vaginal sex, drunk sex, Gallagher acts kinda creepy, mention of post-sex sadness, 18+.

Art by: Leonardo AI.

He was standing on the balcony, naked, and the sparkle of a burning cigarette was illuminating a part of his lower face. What was he thinking about? You didn't know. 

Every muscle, every vein on his body reminded you of antique statues. He was shaped so perfectly it left you wondering which Aeon themself bestowed him with such a cosmic charm. And his pensive gaze… it all made your head spin.

Gallagher was an alcoholic, old enough to play as your father and careless enough not to promise women anything except one night stand, and you were just an IPC worker, who needed to keep an eye on him and lure out as much confidential information as you could. He smelled of tart alcohol, cheap cigarettes and cologne with woodsy notes and accords of amber, and incense; your skin smelled sweet with the mixed fragrance of black pepper, tuberose and orange blossom. 

You tried to recall the moment you gave up and played to your inner demons' benefit. Your body still felt light and warm from all the rum-based cocktails you were drinking for the whole evening. You were the only visitor; Gallagher felt more talkative than usual, so your senses were busy with listening to his chatter and smelling his smoldering cig. 

You felt something for him. His strong figure and mysterious persona made blood rush through your veins. It wasn't right, but you couldn't care less here, on Penacony, where all dreams were able to come true. You craved for him, and he craved for you, too. 

It was hard not to lay an eye on you: your class and magnificent appearance made you a desirable trophy for every man. His helpful hand didn't let your glass stay empty, and his eyes were wandering on your figure. Your features, your neck and your cleavage were his main interest. 

Word after word, and you found yourself playing with his hand, your eyes glistening with devilish treachery and your fingertips brushing the inner part of his forearm, tracing every deep-blue vein and scratching the skin with your nails, agonizingly slow. Gallagher kept himself collected, yet you could see his jaw working. He had a plan to give you so much alcohol so you would forget your own name and come to his apartment, but you seemed willing to do so without stimulating aid. 

In his old, cold, and lonely apartment, your presence was extraterrestrial. Gallagher kept your face in his hands, his warm mouth left kisses all across your cheeks and lips, as if you were the dearest person he had ever known in his entire life. You hugged his neck, your lips met his, involving Gallagher into a deep, passionate kiss. 

Your dress was thrown on the floor, and you were left in your underwear, laying in his bed. Gallagher lowered his grip to your waist; his fingers dug into your soft flesh. He was grinding his crotch against yours slowly. Gallagher didn't hurry to undress, as he was completely drowned in savoring your half-naked beauty. The difference between your young, supple body and his, adorned with aging, made his head spin at the realization that it was him to steal the moments of your youth and fervor. Gallagher was an old disgusting man, attracted to a girl twice younger his age.

Gallagher unclipped your bra, his hand cupped one of your breasts. He took your hard and pined nipple into his mouth to play with it. You reached your hand to the bulge on his pants, squeezing and stroking it. You could hear him sucking the air in loudly, and you smirked at his reaction. Sex with him was just like his persona – lazy and spontaneous. 

His mouth went back on your neck; he bit at your skin, scratching it with prickly stubble on his chin. Your pussy was pulsating and clenching around nothing, all the wetness that was leaking out your hole stained your panties and the fabric of his pants. Gallagher took a moment to pull your underwear down, his eager fingers found your clit and pressed on it gently, rubbing in a circular motion. You moaned at the touch, and he slipped them inside, penetrating you easily, as his fingers were already covered in your slick. Pushing them in gently, he left you begging for him.

You sat up to help him undress – you couldn't wait anymore, burning with desire. Your shaking fingers unbuttoned his costume, and Gallagher threw it down on the floor offhandedly. Gallagher made you lay down, his massive hands spread your legs apart and he pushed his erected leaking member inside you impudently, taking a fast and rough pace all of sudden. Gallagher squeezed your wrists with a free hand and put your hands above your head, bringing the element of submission to the intimacy. Listening to your heated breath and whimperings, feeling your body's response to his actions Gallagher couldn't keep his voice shut inside his throat, moaning hoarsely at the way your folds quivered on his dick. His pleased ego added Gallagher an extra pleasure: it was him to fuck you senseless, not your wealthy and vain co-workers. You could have every man in your bed, still you chose him. 

Compared to him, you were small in every aspect: Gallagher was older, taller, stronger and smarter than you. His big and gentle palms that were groping your body gave you an insane pleasure, as well as this unhealthy dynamic of your relationship added the flame to the lubricious frenzy, turning you into a brain dead doll for him. Gallagher let go of your hands, and you clinched to him as if he was your long-term lover, arched your back from the sense of his huge dick pounding into your sloppy pussy. You were close to climax, and Gallagher felt it, his hips rocking harder. He leaned to kiss you, so you hugged his neck, your fingers tangling in his hair. Your orgasm brought Gallagher closer, giving him a hard time not to cum inside your trembling core. He kept moving, prolonging your rapture, and almost had time to pull out of you. You felt his thick and hot cum spurting on your tummy; his heavy breathing scorched at your ear. 

Gallagher excused himself and left to bring napkins to help you clean up. You stayed in bed, catching your breath; then he left you once again, this time for a smoke break. It was the time for an awkward silence. Dear Aeons, what were you hoping for?

“Wanna meet again tomorrow?” Gallagher finally said, putting cigarette out and leaving it in a can, full of butts.

You smiled.

Just a collection of headcanons about the Upper Moon Demons' human lives and just in general.

Upper Moon Six

Daki/Ume Shabana

- Born in 1789 on a Monday ("fair of face"). She was 126 at death.

- Her beauty was immense and breathtaking that she would end up stealing the hearts of other girls' fiancées without even trying. (Much to her brother's annoyance)

- She used to have a fear of the dark. Every night, she would cry for Gyutaro to hold her hand before drifting off to sleep. She would obviously later get over this fear after becoming a Demon.

- At the age of ten, Ume would start her period. Long story short... she woke up screaming and kicking to a bloody mess at 1:00 in the morning, crying for Gyutaro who thought she had been stabbed. By that time, their mother passed away who left neither of her children knowledge about menstruals.

- Still, she would do her best to counter the bleeding monthly. She wouldn't be aware of the causes until three years later, when she would become a courtesan.

- Prior to stabbing a samurai in the eye with the hair pin he bought for her, Ume was quite fond of him. He would bring her gifts, shower her with compliments, and treat her like a princess. However, he never truly love for Ume as the samurai only care for her incredible pretty appearance. He was shocked and disgusted to have found out her sibling relations to Gyutaro thus insulting the latter enough to enrage Ume.

- She was truly the epitome of feminine beauty. Her face was oval-shaped and very symmetrical, with high cheekbones, a willows peak, and a gentle pointed chin. Her eyes were otherworldly breathtaking and dazzling: large, angular, (tapered) double-lidded, bright, sparkling, and tilted upwards with primarily lapis blue irises fading into more sapphire and artic blue shades... and completed with gracefully long, voluminous dark lashes. Her nose slim and dainty with a tiny bump on the bridge and a rounded tip. Her lips were plump, luscious, pouty, rosy pink, and had a natural shine to them creating an adorable smile. Her hair was very thick and had high-density; had notes of sweet plum blossoms, soft Mandarin oranges, and earthly sandalwood; zero signs of heat/sun damage, soft like silk, and always neatly trimmed; a pale silver color with a faint lilac hue that she would frequently wear in a mane alongside lively waterfall. Her eyebrows slim and her ears typically oval-shaped though slightly bigger than average with a bit long, softly shaped diamond-like eyelobes made perfect for any type of earring. Her skin was smooth, unblemished, unscratched, and pale like the moonlight with a natural breathtaking glow and a faint blush on her cheeks. Even in her human years, Ume was quite tall for her age.

- Daki lets Gyutaro consume all the blood from her victims while she mostly ate their flesh, hair, organs, eyes, and joysticks (if they got). She doesn't like blood unless it is type AB/marechi blood.

- If you were to interrogate Tanjiro what scent she had, he'd say it reminded him of: Lemony, honeyed amber, and sweet plum blossoms as top notes, then lily-from-the-valley, tuberose, liquorice, and soft Mandarin oranges for the middle notes, lastly vanilla, white musk, earthy sandalwood, and warm cedarwood as the base notes. Along with that, as a Demon, Daki carried a faint smell of human blood, a faint mixture of the skin odors of her victims, and ruthlessness.

Daki also liked to spray on a tiny bit of perfume, "Sakura no kuchizuke" was her favorite. A very sweet-smelling fragrance with top notes of sparkling yuzu, rose petal essence, and soft peach; middle notes of cherry blossom absolute, orange blossom water, and jasmine sambac; base notes of creamy vanilla bean, white musk, and soft woods (a blend of sandalwood and cedarwood).

- While under disguise, Daki had 12 identities in Yoshiwara. Tsukinahime with her raven-black tresses and captivating yet cold silverly pale yellow eyes (like the moon); Sayekahime with her very dark chocolate brown hair and emerald green eyes; Hibarihime with her cruel treatment towards fellow Keisha; Yurahime rumors linking her to the disappearance of certain swordsmen passing by; Shikimehime whose clients disappeared without a trace; Kagerōhime with a temper as large as her beauty; Ochayahime with her striking eyes the color of green tea; Yatamahime who was a beautiful as she was vain; Ginseihime with her dark purple highlights and ominous aura; Akatsuhime with her timeless beauty; Machiyahime with her mysterious ways; and finally Warabihime before her defeat.

- The reason why not a lot of people recognized Daki through her various identities simply had to do with the changing fashion/beauty standards throughout the years. That and she'd kill anyone who figures out her secret.

- Her ideal type is someone like Akaza, Master Muzan, and Aizetsu... and maybe even Tengen if he became a Demon. She likes men who can at least keep up with her on the battlefield, if he's more powerful than her its bonus points, taller than 5'4 (she doesn't mind hooking up with guys shorter than her just as long as they are gorgeous. Either way, shorter guys are fun to dominate), no blemishes or creepy scars (the only reason why she kept calling Tanjiro unattractive was his apparent puberty bumps, big forehead and scar.), clean and tidy, extremely handsome and beautiful, perfect, and has a sexy voice.

- For some annoying reason, Douma would keep addressing Daki as "daughter" for fun. This usually gets on the Obi Demon's nerves, though more so out of embarrassment rather than resentment.

Gyutaro/Kurunai Shabana

- Born in 1779 on a woeful Wednesday. He was 136 at death.

- In his human years, he was nicknamed "Kurunai" (a play on the word "Kitanai" meaning dirty/filthy) for his raggedy, rather unclean appearance. This name, which started out as a derogatory insult later became a symbol of strength in Gyutaro's eyes.

- The reason he never cleaned himself was due to lack of motivation. He finds very little purpose in taking baths or grooming his hair because of his own lack of interest in most things.

- Even if he were to clean up, the young urchin had little hopes it'd make a difference.

- His parents were never married. His father wanted nothing more than to bang Ms. Shabana and on top of all that, that dude had tons of other chicks. So if Gyutaro tells you that his dad went to get milk, he means literally.

- Kurunai wasn't born 'hideous', but due to life circumstances and hygiene issues ー People from Yoshiwara's Rashomon Riverbank dubbed him the "ugliest". His oval-shaped face was sickly thin and filthy, and not to mention because of his premature birth, his head and brain are slightly bigger than average. His eyes were sunken, bloodshot and bruised, thinnish and slanted downwards a bit asymmetrically, big and double-lidded like his sister's but always worn in a tired/sleepy half-opened expression; his irises used to be the same lapis blue color as Ume's but had gotten shades lighter and foggy overtime. His black hair was like a dirty mop of split ends, knots, coarseness, sweat, and fleas; it had a unpleasant odor of sweat and tangy onions. His nose was flat and crooked, and often bruised and bleeding from getting punched; four different types of scars and many sunspots live on his skin. His ears were the same as Ume's; slightly big with loose-diamond shaped eyelobes. Plenty of his teeth were knocked out. To top it all, Kurunai was always covered in dirt and grim.

- According to Kurunai's mother, in Hell, she believes if her son was born to a better household, Kurunai would've turned out much better. She also thinks with the proper treatment and resources, the lad would've came out above average-looking if he tried.

- When questioned about Gyutaro's scent, Tanjiro confessed it was one of the least distinctive ones he could remember: Top notes of several different types of human blood, bloodwood, and desert ironwood; Middle notes of A+ blood, animal blood, poison ivy, and dried musk; Base notes of O negative blood, B negative blood, sour onions, moldy leather, and century year old gym socks (like a lot of demons). Sun-Breath User would associate the smell of constant deep vengeance with the Mantis guy.

- Though Douma gave the both of them a large amount of his blood, Gyutaro requested him to take it easy on Ume not wanting it to backfire and lose his sister completely. After that, the siblings were reunited and overjoyed. Douma even let them have his leftover Geisha snack.

- He gets drunk on blood very easily. His ideal snack is a glass of human blood and a disembodied hand on the side. This would help enhance his blood demon art.

- He likes weed.

- Douma calls Gyutaro "son" sometimes which the latter seems to tolerate. It was nice having a parental figure in his life that doesn't constantly beat him. For fun, the cult leader tried finding his comrade a girlfriend... It didn't turn out so good and a Hashira actually showed up.

- Not to mention, Upper Moon 2 gives Gyutaro nightmares/daymares. Once when he was just asleep inside his sister's shadow, the usual, the poison demon had a truly horrifying dream of fighting Douma and losing.

Douma's blood cells might have something to do with that.

An irresistible floral nectar heart, comprised of Bulgarian rose orpur, geranium bourbon and midnight jasmine, is contained in a confection of sinfully delicious Madagascar vanilla, Laotian honey and spellbinding resinous oil of opoponax.

The perfume Forbidden Games is part of the KILIAN Narcotics family. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.

perfume diary - Killian perfume sampler set

I've spent the week just trying out the Killian Icons sample set.

Angels Share - an infamous scent that lives up to the hype because it's just so singular and magical. I hate gourmand scents, but this is... Boozy without being saccharine, spiced without being spicy and harsh, woody without the dryness or heaviness. It's cognac and tonka bean on a bed of sandalwood. It's amazing. No wonder it costs an arm and a leg.

Love, Don't Be Shy - BY GOD I WANTED TO LIKE THIS ONE. This is orange sugar and a faint peppery scent, it's so distinct and nice.... at first. Usually when you first put on perfume, it's too intense and then settles on the drydown. This one is weirdly the opposite-- it was nice on first application but as it dried and settled, the sweetness of it literally made me nauseous from its intensity. 8C

Straight to Heaven - This one is purportedly a rum-based scent but I didn't actually get rum from it? It's a very smoky patchouli-forward woody scent with the trademark boozy note that comes from all Killian perfumes. This one has all the markers for an overly aggressive signature, but it's... like magically restrained? It'd bold but not overly so. Very good and powerful, would be a great trademark for someone.

Good Girl Gone Bad - YOOOOOOOOOOOO This is the magic trick. This is like the equivalent of a perfectly balanced knife, it's fucking mathematical. Rosewater and musk with a hint of jasmine. There is a LOT going on honestly, with multiple floral notes (apparently orange blossom and turkish rose and jasmine and tuberose) but because the texture of the scent is so liquid, it's so goddamn balanced. Truly magnificent, what the hell.

There is another sample called Black Phantom, but my mother stole that sample and its her favorite.

Don't try these! Don't fall in love with any of them! They are expensive!

unless you do some research on reliable clones like i have cough cough
