Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the Father of Masochism and sexual surrender, had planned on writing six volumes of erotic literature entitled The Heritage of Cain. Only the first two volumes were completed, the more famous of the two being the notorious Venus in Furs.  This novel tells the tale of a man, Severin, that enters into a relationship of slavery and increasingly debauched degradation with his mistress, Wanda.  Dry black teas, Earl Gray [sic], and leather.

debauchery? leather? degradation?  sign me up!

sadly, i smell no leather and no degradation.  wet, all i smell is bergamot; let it dry and warm up, and all i smell is bergamot.  for about twenty minutes, and then i don't smell much of anything.

that's three in a row that wore off super-quick, eh?  massive bummer.  i suppose the bright side is that they've been ones i wasn't nuts about.
