The Belles Come Out at Night
Night 8 of 13: A Tipped-Over Glass
October 23, 2025
Scarlett Bordeaux
The Eternal Hedonist
"Darling, in the 1600s we called it libertinage.
In the '20s, liberation. Now in the '50s, you call it scandal.
I just call it Tuesday."
The cocktail party that never ends. A burgundy Cadillac parked outside a French Quarter mansion where the martinis taste like bad decisions and the hostess hasn't aged since Eisenhower took office. Hell, since Napoleon took office.
Scarlett Bordeaux doesn't just live forever—she lives deliciously. And tonight, like every night for three centuries, she's hosting.
Life As A Banquet
Here's what the proper ladies of Garden District society don't understand: Scarlett didn't become a vampire. She chose it. Back in 1600s Provence, she was already infamous—a libertine aristocrat who turned her château into a temple of pleasure. When death threatened to interrupt the party, she simply removed it from the guest list.
Now she poses as a wealthy French widow in 1950s New Orleans, hosting "cocktail parties" where proper wives gamble with more than money and gentlemen loosen more than their ties. She finds this era's obsession with propriety delicious—so many rules to break, so many facades to crack.
Every night starts with a promise and ends with a transgression. That's not a warning. It's a guarantee.
The Midnight Assemblies
Her soirées are legend among those who remember them—which is to say, almost no one remembers them clearly. The champagne flows like water, the jazz records skip at just the wrong moments, and somewhere between the second martini and the third, things get spilled.
Not blood—Scarlett's too sophisticated for that. Secrets. Confessions. The kind of truths that only surface when inhibitions drown in gin. She feeds on that moment when someone finally admits what they really want. That dizzying sweetness of temptation too irresistible to deny.
She doesn't shout. She whispers. Creates an intimate bubble of allure that makes people lean in, confess more, spill everything like a tipped-over glass of wine on white silk.
Her Essence: Scarlet Red
A TALE OF SEDUCTION SPILLED FROM A TIPPED-OVER GLASS
The Trinity: Maraschino Cherry • Bitter Almond • Black Oud
Top Notes: Maraschino cherry, bitter almond, champagne fizz
Heart Notes: Turkish rose, jasmine sambac, blood orange, saffron
Base Notes: Black oud, roasted tonka bean, Peru balsam, sandalwood, vetiver
Unapologetically sweet. Deliberately intoxicating.
The liquid testament to living deliciously.
This is the olfactory snapshot of a night that starts with promise and ends with transgression. That bright red maraschino cherry floating in her eternal Manhattan, the bitter almond that whispers of beautiful danger, and black oud—older than sin and twice as expensive.
It doesn't shout but rather whispers secrets that make people turn their heads. This fragrance invites proximity, demands conversation, and leaves a trail of whispered questions long after you've left the room.
The Ritual of Becoming
Applying Scarlet Red is the final, deliberate act of dressing for pleasure. Mist it onto pulse points—wrists, neck, behind the knees—to activate eternity with your body's heat.
For a more intense aura, spray it into the air and walk through the fragrant cloud, letting it settle on your hair and clothes like confessions on silk.
As the scent envelops you, let it set your intention: to embrace pleasure, to attract desire, and to leave a lingering impression of luxurious rebellion long after you've left the room.
Her Truth
"They think immortality is a curse because they've never tried it in Dior.
Never tasted champagne that's older than countries.
Never collected secrets like other people collect pearls.
Eternity isn't a sentence, darling.
It's a banquet.
And I intend to taste every single course."
October 25: Night 9 of 13
"The parlor fills with whispers."
"Secrets spill like champagne."
"And someone knows more than they should."
