Kabarett

A debauched chypre of black leather, pipe tobacco, cigar smoke, worn wood stages, Cassis liqueur, Brazilian Rosewood, blood oranges, flambéed pears, wilted bouquets, wine-stained satin, tonka, and rare Gesha coffee. My nerves lust for something new... It must be extreme , intoxicating like strong tobacco, to feed the greedy appetites of the se wild senses. Oh, what a kinky rascal I am! – translated lyrics from cabaret song Starker Tobak by Friedrich Hollaender Art: She Represents by Jeanne Mammen , 1927
