Blooddrop Dances of Vice Huile de Parfum Exclusive:
La Danse Orientale d'Allure et Bien Risque de Madame Collant-Bas Perfume
La Danse Orientale d’Allure et Bien Risqué de Madame Collant-Bas
(Dances of Vice Etsy Boutique exclusive Blooddrop Perfume - Limited Edition) was created exclusively for Dances of Vice, to celebrate the openting of their Etsy boutique! This fragrance is also available at their boutique from which you are also welcome to order from!
Blooddrop takes immense pleasure collaborating with Shien Lee and Dances of vice! For more information about Dances of Vice and their upcoming event schedule, please visit:
the Dances of Vice website!
Most would not know that Madame Collant-Bas’s legal name was Violet Featherbox, but Miss Featherbox has come a long ways since her early days with the vaudevillian theatre she was hired with. Now, she headlines with her new name and her troupe of exotic dancers (both male and female, of course) performing incredibly racy bits that often just ever-so-barely expose some naughty bits! Never too much so the coppers stay away and just enough to keep the customers coming back for more. Madame Collant-Bas has several numbers, but her favorite and highest earner is “La Danse Orientale d’Allure et Bien Risqué” which involves very sheer kimonos, half a dozen lazy peacocks (lazy is good otherwise they’d hop and defecate all over the stage), fabulous hairpieces made by the oldest Chinese lady in the neighborhood, and the stage set up like an exquisite Bedouin tent. (There is a slight amalgamation of Japanese, Chinese and Middle Eastern themes, but it all works in the end. ) This perfume is what Madame Collant-Bas wears for her performance: a blend of floral teas, dried apple, a sweetened milk emulsion, Arabian resins and pink pepper.
This perfume is not available in sample size.

Café
Oblique
Mon dieu! The competition across the boulevard from
Café Zazou! And they put
liquor in their coffee! Quel horreur! Non mais! C’est incroyable!
Imported
Jamaican coffee beans, Madagascar vanilla, chai teas, Irish cream
whiskey,
frothy milk, chocolate syrup, Antilles spiced rum, and imported
American
oatmeal cream cookies for dunking. Ouais enfin, Café Zazou
thinks this place is
an atrocity!
No woman looks forward to the day she has any problems, health scares or diseases with her girlie bits and, yet, there are many, many issues that affect our lower parts all throughout our lives! In fact, it’s probably harder to find someone who has had no problems that someone who has! This scent was created to celebrate and honor our vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries and all the other parts in between! My husband and I have created an expression and that is “good gyne.” Whenever I come back from a visit with the Ob/Gyn, he will always ask, “So, do you have good gyne?” I wish good gyne for all of us! I have formulated Good Gyne with ingredients that have been associated with women’s health one way or another. That said, this oil is not meant to be ingested or applied to your lady parts! Good Gyne has a soft base of vanillaed baby powder with rose absolute, pink lotus, clary sage, Egyptian geranium, jasmine sambac absolute, baby tea leaf, watermelon, and chamomile.
L'Ecurie
Blooddrop
L'Ecurie
Blooddrop (translation: Blooddrop Stables) is a new series of rotating,
limited
edition equine themed scents. I will be featuring equestrian themes,
famous
horses of myth, antiquity and contemporary history, and anything else
horse-related that I’m inspired to do a scent for. Horses have been a
part of
my life the minute I could pick up a crayon and put a ballerina on a
black
circus horse to playing with horse models to my first riding lesson to
my first
horse show to my first horse (beloved Zennadu) and years upon years of
shoveling
the best poo in the world! I hope you will enjoy my celebration of all
things
equi-centric! Scents will be available as supplies last. This is an
on-going adventure,
so there are no specific dates.
Bucephalus
Bucephalus was Alexander the Great’s furious war stallion
who carried him in
many a battle. He has been preserved in memory having been portrayed in
numerous paintings and sculptures. It is believed he died in 326B.C.E.
during
Alexander’s last battle and was buried in the currently known town of
Jhelem,
Parkistan, which Alexander had formerly named Bucephala in honor of his
formidable mount. This scent is a regal blend of red Egyptian musk,
cedar,
labdanum, Dominican bay, iron-distilled patchouli, vetiver and ho wood.
It was
created to imitate the glossy, sleek coat of the dark stallion. SOLD OUT.
Filly
Young, adorable, spindly-legged and utterly rambunctious! White tea,
ginger,
pink grapefruit, red Egyptian musk, sweet orange, watermelon, amyris,
chamomile, tagette flower, and sweet davana.
Kelpie
Kelpies are mythical Scottish water ponies. They are
believed to wander around lochs
and rivers and lure people to them with their sad, wet state and on to
their
back. The pony then drags his or her victim to their drowning death
deep below
the water’s surface. Soft, milky black tea darkened with dry cocoa and
aged
patchouli.
Merrylegs
Merrylegs is the kind, sweet pony in the novel Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. This
is an equally jaunty, fun scent of fluffy marshmallow, blackberries,
blueberries, figs, angel food cake, raspberries, peaches and vanilla
musk.
Pegasus
The great white, winged stallion who lives among the gods
at Mount Olympus and
gallops across the night sky among the stars. His scent is pristine,
windy and
wild. Aloe, cucumber, bergamot tea leaves, white amber, Roman
chamomile, champaca,
blue musk, linden blossom, and the whoosh of white feathers in the air.

Specifically created pour l'homme, but can certainly be worn by la femme, as well.
This is Blooddrop’s first gentleman’s fragrance. It has been named in honor of my scholarly male friends, regardless of their field of study. It is a handsome, elegant scent with a blend of classic ingredients: amber, vetiver and lavender.
Requested by a good friend, this gentleman’s fragrance is inspired by the scent of the forest. Wood, stone, earth and cool shaded air. Two mosses, vetiver, spruce, wild rosewood, cedar wood and a good handful of rich loam.

Scent Menu List~
At Denny’s After Rocky
The usual food trip after the RHPS brings a group of all sorts: some Goths, some SCA-ers and Gamers, the really odd old guy who still might live in his mom’s basement and that really hot guy you’re too shy to talk to. The selection of meals ordered was just as bizarre as the people, but one favorite was blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup and maple syrup!
Bisou
Crème de Cassis, crème brulèe, vanilla bean and brown sugar. This is a bit hard to resist.

Bonne Nuit
A soft gentle bedtime scent. Powdered blossoms, spun sugar, lavender and a kiss of vanilla.
Broomstick
Sweet summer apricots, crisp early fall red apples, moist spice cake, clove and brown sugar. Just some of the things any good witch will have in her pantry!

A twinkling path to rolling in the grass and intoxicated delight!
Diabolique

Delicieuse
Thick and sultry honey and vanilla with a sassy kiss of peppermint.
Devonshire Cottage
A quaint stone farm house with a view of the wild ponies. A bountiful bouquet of herbs from the garden, creeping ivy, and a gentle base of clotted cream, sugar and condensed milk.
Dollhouse
Eeerily dainty and charming. There is oddity in rendering the life-like so small. Bush-plucked raspberries, vanilla oleoresin, pink grapefruit, calendula, bergamot, palma rosa, and gurjum balsam.
Eiffel Tower
Amber, fig, peach, caramel and oak moss blended to create a very chic, glamorous and elegant scent preferably while wearing heels.

Call to it and it will come to you; to grant you one wish that is honest and true to mend your broken heart. Egyptian musk, green tea, honeysuckle, king mandarin, and litsea cubeba.

Killing Time in Taipei
Not quite cold enough, but better than nothing iced tea with a plate of strange, other-worldy fruit.
Les Madeleines
Really, these should be France’s national “goûter” cake. Madeleines are little vanilla cakes infused with orange blossom water. They are baked in a special pan that forms them in the shape of little shells. My husband fell in love with them when I took him to visit my family in Brittany.
L’Shana Tova
May your have a sweet new year! Apples and honey.
Luna Moth
Giant, nighttime butterfly in all her iridescent and ethereal beauty against a full moon’s glow. Luminescent whites and the palest green shimmer. Bamboo, lettuce, a white trio of tea, ginger and musk plus a sliver of lime.
Medusa
Green, deadly and beautiful.
White tea stained green with sea moss, black patchouli, benzoin, pink lotus, labdanum, amyris, vanilla oleoresin, palma rosa, German chamomile, amber and a wind blown black voile gown.
Melancholia
This is the scent of sadness driving you to incalculable amounts of chocolate and alcohol.
Blackest of the blackberry liquors, darkest of the chocolate absolutes, creamiest and booziest of the chocolate cakey, lady fingery deserts, and a tiny touch of iron distilled patchouli for the sake of the woe-filled heart.
Mourning Dove
Gentle, grey feathers nestling and cooing. Sweetened cream, vanilla musk, rice milk, broom absolute, spring's grass, and a nook in an aged, maple tree.
Pumpkin
Did anyone ever called you ‘punkin’ or ‘pumpkinhead’ as a term of endearment? My mom did! In many ways I think that could not but help set me up towards my love of Halloween. Pumpkin is an absolute sticky, sugary Halloween delight! Osceney generous spoonfuls of marshmallow, sweet candied orange peel, buttercream frosted cupcakes, maple sugar candies and a pair of sticky hands holding a little bouquet of chrysanthemums and applewood branches.

The Zodiac Club
I absolutely loved the Zodiac Club in the movie “Bell, Book and Candle.” My husband and I said if we ever opened up our own club, that’s what it would be called. So in honor of the bar we probably won’t ever open, I’ve created this scent. A melange of the esoteric and bohemian: ginger, peppercorn, a backdrop of smoke and sweetened clove cigarettes.

Dixie Elouise Adelaide Deschamps’
Perfectly Legal and Innocuous Kissing Cake
Miss Deschamps was always a bit of a sassy girl. She’d hang upside down on the monkey bars so that her shirt would fall a little on its own revealing a young girl’s blossoming chest or shirts a bit too racy for school. But she was a kind heart and good to her momma and poppa even though they got tired pretty quick with her little romantic antics with the boys and with the phone calls from school and even with the occasional call from the sheriff. When Dixie wasn’t getting in to trouble, she’d spend some of her time in the kitchen making some mean baked goods. And there was also the other things she’d do upstairs in her room with a candle and some herbs she’d gathered from the next door farmer’s field. But, to be honest, no one knew about those things. A few years ago, Dixie baked a particularly delicious cake for the county fair which stirred a bit of a ruckus. Anyone who ate even the smallest bite of the cake later felt flushed, woozy and a-bit-more-than-usual amoureux. You can better believe she swore all up, down and to the left and right that there was absolutely nothing unusual about her cake. It was made with old fashioned love and local ingredients, yessirree! But, again, there could have been a little something said over the oven when she was baking it and maybe a little something said over the pan before putting it in the oven and maybe a little something rubbed on the pan before pouring the cake batter in it. Of course, she would have never done anything harmful to the townsfolk. Only maybe a little something to loosen up their tight belts. And just because her initials were D-E-A-D, well, that didn’t mean anything. Some of the finest, ripest strawberries, the fluffiest and sweetest angel cake, the creamiest butter cream frosting and some davana to make the experience unique.
Empress Ming Li Zho’s Sparkling Infusion for Happy Brightness
In a former life as a Zen monk some good 528 years ago or more, I lived in a very, very small region of China. It was a very lush and peaceful place that had a very, very dainty Empress to govern the land, which as I mentioned was very, very small and did not extend beyond the two mountains that cradled the valley of the region. Empress Ming Li Zho was an only child and her parents passed away when she was very young. Although she was raised by kind hearted people of the court, Empress Ming Li Zho missed her parents dearly and named a pair of red pandas after them. As she grew up, but not very much since she was very, very dainty and hence quite petite in size, she paid particular attention to other children who had also lost their parents (or other beloved things) and were having a difficult time smiling or knowing joy. She inquired with some local healers who sent her to the nearly coo-coo old man who did not live in a cave, but in a hole in the ground, who then sent her to talk to the yellow birds in the blue trees who, in turn, chirped a little song about happiness. The Empress translated a recipe from this song. It was the Sparkling Infusion for Happy Brightness. She shared it freely with all and sometimes used it herself on days when she felt she could use a little cheering up: a blend of two gingers, a few pressed leaves of mint and a very, very small piece of crushed lemongrass.
Frau Von Schtinklestein’s Partially Completed Barvarian Love Essence
Yes, it is true that Frau Von Schtinklestein never finished completing this recipe due to her unexpected passing with a bout of scurvy that her husband brought home with him after his long trip on the cold dark Arctic waters searching for the elusive Long-Haired Snowy Whale. In fact, she was creating this Love Essence as a means to keep him closer to home, instead of on the high seas that would hold on to him and his ship for months, sometimes years, at a time. While she did very much enjoy having the stone manor for herself, she found she would also be fraught with anxiety on odd numbered days with no one to tell her jokes to. Her three Guernsey cows never said much, but to chew their cud and the daisies in the garden. A young niece came across Mrs. Von Schtinklestein’s notes and decided to make this oil available anyway. Even if it worked halfway, it was better than not at all! A dessert lovingly made for two: pears poached in vanilla and then caramelized in brown sugar.
Madame Pompidou’s Elixir Secret pour les Maladies et Crises du Coeur
Passed on to me by my great, great grandmother whom I have never met, Madame Soupiron, this recipe was perfected by the grand Madame Pompidou in 1762. Although believed by the world and French men to be only available to very high class French ladies, in fact all French women have been using this not so secret (to French women, that is) elixir for ages, even prior to the perfected formulation by Mme. Pompidou. This oil is used for any sort of woes of the heart or spirit such as results from tripping in public places, bouchers who sell you the wrong cut of meat, mail that is damaged by the mice in your courier box, any day that ends by being qualifiably described as en merdant, being jilted by a so-called friend or lover or simply getting a hole in one’s stockings or breaking the laces in your corset. Chocolate, mousse au chocolat, various friandises au chocolat and any singular or mix of cordials or liquers remaining in the cabinet in the pantry that you have not already finished off. This fabuleux cure-all will brush all your malaises and crises away!
