WITPRO at Dior

Wearing different fragrances
Don't want you knowing
What I smell like

Packing getaway bags
In disguise in my own city

Herbaceous, masculine
Woody strong silent type

Dermatillomania hitting fever pitch
It's no surprise
Trying to scrape off the bad parts

Behind this ugly wallpaper
Something purer waits

Buttery heliotrope
Note of ambrette musk

Blood rushing underneath
Apple cheeks

Kissing them twice
Leaving behind some glycolic scent

Not mine
