The Sinner and the Saint

Become one with the darkness and the light: delicate white amber and musk entwine in a deep sensual embrace with rare thick black ambers and patchouli from India, dusted with powdered sugar.

Let’s pretend...temptation lies on both sides of piety and peccancy.

She knew that for every sunlit wish of the waking world a dark dream waited on the other side to cloud reason and incite hunger of an inexplicable kind.

She searched the city far and wide to find the one who was her opposite…the one she longed to meet, to learn the limits of her own devotion. There were those who mocked her and warned her of the folly of temptation, but she would not be swayed.

She found him in the quarter given to vice and other lawless behavior, his room overlooking the city as if his decadence could be forgiven by altitude rather than attitude.

A door at the end of the corridor was marked with a crescent moon and five-pointed star. She had only to stand before it, and as she raised her hand to knock he had anticipated her desire, and stood before her.

"Well," he greeted her, his voice deep and inviting. "I wondered if you would be brave enough to come. Then again, some arrivals still remain to be experienced."

"I am here because I have to be. I would not choose this."

"Believe me to be an inappropriate teacher?"

"Yes."

"Then more's the pity for you."

"Why do you mock me?"

"Have you heard the story of Inanna?"

"She was sent to the Underworld by her sister Ereshkigal."

"Yes, because even though she had been gifted with truth by Enki, she was without the most essential truth of her own soul. Shadow, and light. They accompany each other and we believe they are entwined. But you must learn that their seeming duality is not the truth. Your most exalted one is but a black sun."

She moved into the room and sat in a chair before a mirror.

"Attend this, dear one, your own image."

She looked into the mirror and beheld herself, flushed from her emotional distress, her copper hair hanging in damp strands around her face.
"Look at that face," he purred, "heart-shaped and wide-eyed. A face that surely many could find reason to desire."

"My heart is pure, and that is all I desire."

"But that purity must be tempered by truth, lest it be weak."

His hands rested on her shoulders and he leaned in so that his reflection showed beside her own.

"I am the path of excess. I am the highway of delight. Imagine the sweetest thing you've ever tasted. You will find that in me."

His voice had dropped to a honeyed whisper.

"You may wish to close your eyes and behold your golden god while we come together in search of ecstasy. But know that I am the one endowing you with the gift of bliss. I bring you low, my queen, so that you may climb high onto the Throne of Heaven."

He smiled as she stood, letting her clothes fall to the floor.

February is the month of Love and here at LPMP we strive to create our Valentine's Day scents with special aphrodisiacal allure. This year we wanted to encourage our friends and loved ones to have fun with that special day: try something new, something different. Our theme is Let's Pretend and scenario play is one of the best ways to enhance one's erotic life. When we play pretend we arouse much more than merely the libido, but the imagination. Intimacy is intensified when we can express our deepest fantasies in a creative fashion. Scenarios usually involve the use of costumes and props, but in order to create a total immersive fantasy, one must also stimulate all five senses…and scent is perhaps the most compelling of them all. After all, in some scenarios you may not see or touch your lover, but if you can smell them then it will only enflame the proceedings. So when you put on the costume…or get ready to take it off….don't forget to slather one of our sexy February scents which will make you the star of the show, the finishing touch for a night of amazing passion.
