    three is tough especially considering the lovely words everyone else has chosen.

    but!


    Oneiric
    Labyrinthine
    Concupiscent (since someone already said erotic...)

    Bonus Word...
    Fetishistic
    I've often felt Art Nouveau was very fetishistic, at least in the
    way it repeats specific themes and mediates upon them repeatedly in an endless array of patterns.

    There needs to be another word beyond just "feminine"... I was trying to make Epicene fit but it really isn't accurate. There is something divinely feminine about the curves and organic nature of nouvuea design.
