A mirror gallery of the Versailles. A group of young girls are chatting about something. But the moment music starts to play they stop and hiding their smiles behind their fans they start to glance at a king crossing a ballroom. He censoriously looks at every girl though invites to dance different one. She is in the Artemide costume and looks older than others but still the same pretty. The king is enchanted with her completely and wishes to dance and talk only to her. So for less than half of a year the woman will become the official favorite, she will get a manor and the title of Madam de Pompadour.

A fashionable literary salon every night gathers incoherent Paris public. Leisure talks are shifted with sharp disputes then they wear thin again. But every moment of the people here is devoted to the salon mistress. A high powder wig, tender blush, a beauty spot over her lips. Chastity and flirtation. But for one second in her eyes full of life and curiosity steel coolth appears. The woman is not a plain one as it seems. There are only few of courtesans who can attain her high place. “Courtesan`s Intrigues” is musk and powder composition with vintage sound. It starts with iris, violet, civet, and aldehydes notes and is complimented with resin and wooden accord.

At the bottom of a marble pedestal there is a cassolette with fumes. A wisp of smokes spirals from it to a slim naked tall as a man statue though it looks lofty, proud and noble. An alabaster white face of the goddess is embraced with flowers. An ancient sanctuary stands here from Roman Empire. If people from Church know, they will sentence to death for heresy. But pagan priest, a young boy, comes here every day to put flowers on the head of his goddess, smokes fumes believing that one day the statute will transform into a beautiful woman as many generations of men in his family did. The perfume “Goddess” by Nimere Parfums is orient and spicy composition to be created with spice, flowers, and incense notes.

Summer Paris nights are dark and chill. The Benches in the Versailles park are far away from each other so they hide lovers wishing to stay along under trees branches. A handsome chevalier cuddles a young woman and whispers some obscenity to her. If he were a bit less persistent, this evening could come to nothing. But his embrace is stronger and more explicit. The woman silly giggles loosing herself under his persistence and power. This night she will say him “yes!” ”Shades of Darkness” is one of the most sensual perfume by Nimere Parfums. It starts with mixture of fresh and spicy notes of citrus, nutmeg, and carnation. Then in the heart it opens with champaca flower, rose, iris, jasmine, narcissus, violet, neroli, ylang-ylang, and tobacco note. On the bottom of the perfume there is animalistic accord of grey ambergris, leather, civet, and castoreum followed with gourmet and wooden notes of vanilla, cacao, Tonka beans, oakmoss, patchouli, and resins.
