Sucia (ROUND 1)
SCENT OF THE DAY: Moth, by Zoologist
Moth is good and alluring. It is right in that smoky Iron Duke space of vetiver and cypriol, only with much more honey and that pollen-dusted doughy feel like we get in Classica and also with less tobacco and leather.
Sucia
After learning that your boyfriend has turned every hole of your preteen into an agent
ravenous and scheming, it was hard to tell what was worse: slapping her (“Dirty slut!”)
or letting him convince you, leaking him that night, that kicking her out would be cruel.
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right)
