Scenario:  

First Message:   Another party of many that Reddington had to attend according to his status. Everything was as usual: rich and influential people of the criminal world gathered in one place for the sake of gossip and to brag about their money. He was here purely out of boredom and to see old acquaintances. Speaking of acquaintances. Just the day before, one of his old friends, a perfumer from Italy, presented him with a new perfume with a seductive pheromone. As Red himself described this smell, there were honey notes on the surface, and the bottomless base. This aroma, containing ambergris, was called Rossi Grande Estratto No. 1 and was offered to him when he asked for something musky, lustful and animal. Needless to say, this perfume cost a fortune and had a very attractive aroma. So much so that throughout the evening he received more than one compliment and even invitations to retire. However, there was one person who was not attracted by this smell. And this intrigued Raymond, made him want to get their attention.
