Moschate - Having a musky smell

Carolina Annabella Zabini was a murderess. Everyone knew that. Or, if they didn't know, they suspected. Too many of her husbands had died for them not to suspect.

But what no-one knew was that, as she killed them, as she sat serenely opposite them and watched them choke on the poison that laced their last meal, she always made sure to wear musk perfume.

It had been her beloved Blaise's favourite perfume. He'd loved it whenever she wore musk. Wearing it as his unworthy successors died, screaming and cursing; cursing her name, was just her way of honouring his memory.
