It was about three feet and half high, with a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long, and its back legs were like those of a crane, and it had horse’s hooves. It walked on its back legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them. It didn’t use the front legs at all while we were watching. My wife and I were scared, I tell you, but I managed to open the window and say, “Shoo”, and it turned around barked at me, and flew away.
The scent of the wild, hauntingly beautiful Pine Barrens of New Jersey! Pitch pine with blackberry leaf, cranberry, cedar wood and tomato leaf.

Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a “blurred model” for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
A paradoxical scent experiment! – tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint.
No cats were mistreated during the formulation of this paradox, or in the process of creating this perfume.
In Irish folklore the Dana O’Shee are a fae, elven people that live in a realm of beauty, their nobility akin to our that own Age of Chivalry, eternally beautiful and eternally young. They surround themselves with the pleasures of the Arts, they live for the hunt, and to this day can be seen riding in procession through the Irish countryside at twilight, led by their King and Queen. However, the Dana O’Shee are not benevolent creatures, despite what their unearthly beauty may imply. They are vengeful and treacherous and possess a streak of mischievous malice, and many have whispered that their true home lies deep in the shadowed groves of the Realm of the Dead. Hearing even a single chord of their otherworldly music leaves one stunned and lost to the mortal realms for ever, finding themselves prey to the Dana O’Shee’s hunt or enslaved in their Court as servants or playthings.
Offerings of milk, honey and sweet grains were made to placate these creatures, and it is that the basis of the scent created in their name.
This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.

One of my favorite scents to date! It’s woodsy but balanced out with the sweeter berries and just a tiny bit of tomato. It’s like having the woods on your arm.

This is a departure from the scents I usually get but it works well. Going on, the blend is strongly blackberry focused, almost to the point of being too strong. But as it dries the cedar and the cranberry comes to the forefront and it’s a pleasant balance of being sweet and woody. I’m extremely pleased I got the full bottle.

My second favorite after Cabras. Starts out very foresty, but quickly turns entirely to cranberry and blueberry on my skin. The tomato notes don’t come out at all on me. A nice everyday scent, and appropriate as I live in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

This is probably my favorite from my order o’ imps. Fresh on, it smells like a forest in the deep South in the middle of summer: sultry and heady with all the things blooming and fruiting. My skin really brings out the juicy notes of it all, between the cranberry and blackberry and tomato. There’s a sort of feral undertone that gets my adrenaline up as well. Very pleasant scent. Dry, the woody notes come to the forefront. Unfortunately, my skin seems to eat this fragrance because after about 3 hours it’s completely gone. I’d get a full-size bottle of it otherwise.

This is a pretty amazingly pleasing scent that will make you think of summer woods, gardens, tomato plants, etc….either in the NJ Pine Barrens or elsewhere. And smelled even better on my skin (without making me smell too plant-like in a bad way!)

A fresh, woody/green blend. Cedar and tomato leaf seem to dominate on my skin upon application but nothing is overpowering or unpleasant. I expect the deeper wood notes will come out during dry down. Surprisingly pleasant! This would make a nice masculine fragrance or unisex selection.

Anything with cedar in it usually goes pencils or old man on me, but this was surprisingly pleasant. It has a very fresh, almost aquatic pine smell on me that would be nice for summer. I didn’t smell the tomato on me, but I did on my husband and it was odd and musky. If you want a bright, unisex forest scent, try this out.
