Outlaw Perfume: Simply Stunning
By now, you folks have figured out that the Outlaw context herein refers to both the demonized or unsanctioned naturals, and those who utilize them.

Instead Karine Vinchon must believe one of the circles of hell is landscaped in pine trees because Memoir Man comes off as an intense study in heady camphoraceous conifers.
