I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life.
Tweed and crisp linen, lime-tinged aftershave, the sleek steel and oil of a well-cared for service revolver, and the echo of a Jezail bullet shell.
It was on a bitterly cold and frosty morning during the winter of ‘97 that I was awakened by a tugging at my shoulder. It was Holmes. The candle in his hand shone upon his eager, stooping face and told me at a glance that something was amiss.
“Come, Watson, come!” he cried. “The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!”

You hear a clatter on the ground behind you, and a small bleached bone smacks against your foot. Cloaked in shadows between the tents, three men crouch playing knucklebones. Distress clouds the face of one of the men, while another bursts into a wicked smile and the last one sighs in relief. Scooping up his winnings and shaking his head, the victor makes a soft ‘tsk’ noise as he reaches towards the loser’s chest, positioning his hand over the man’s heart. Pressing forward, his hand moves through cloth, flesh, muscle, and bone to extract the beating organ. Tossing the heart onto the ground, he says to you, “Mind handing me those bones, buddy? I’ve got a game to run here.”
Black musk, bay rum, lime fougere, orange blossom water, gin, and tobacco.
Before Fat Charlie’s father had come into the bar, the barman had been of the opinion that the whole karaoke evening was going to be an utter bust; but then the little old man had sashayed into the room, walked past the table of several blonde women with the fresh sunburns and smiles of tourists…He had tipped his hat to them, for he wore a hat, a spotless green fedora, and lemon-yellow gloves, and then he walked over to their table. They giggled….He was older than they were, much, much older; but he was charm itself, like something from a bygone age when fine manners and courtly gestures were worth something. The barman relaxed. With someone like this in the bar, it was going to be a good evening.
Sugar cookies with bay rum, tobacco, and lime.

This is a very clean and sharp scent. The lime is there but when mixed with the linen smell it turns into a soapy scent with a hint of citrus. Again, very fresh and clean. I like it.

This was a freebie and happily so! I tried it on both myself and my husband. On me the lime notes were predominant: line, lime flower, sexy aftershave and a scent like skin rubbing on steel. On my husband it was almost straight to the metallic notes with only a memory of the other scents.

I was most excited about this imp out of my order (Sherlock was unavailable) and it didn’t disappoint in the least. I first detected lime with a hint of metallic sweetness to it. My husband wanted to smell it as well and his reaction was, “Pepsi. Smells like Pepsi.” I forced him to wear some because he wasn’t too keen on the others I ordered and the perfume dried down on him oak first and finished with baby powder. He said he could see my point but he liked it anyway. I love it and it makes me feel a little closer to one of my favorite story lines of all time. Excellent job!
Gloame –
Ooh, lime and… I swear, pine! That must be the tobacco mixing with the lime. It’s a very pretty masculine scent.

Fresh from the imp, this is like a pleasantly old-fashioned men’s cologne. On my skin, tobacco asserts itself, and maybe just a tinge of gunpowder; I would not be surprised if Dr. Watson’s coat smelled like this. 🙂 Now, I have no particular occasion to smell like Dr. Watson’s coat, so I can’t see myself with a larger size of this scent; HOWEVER,layered with the Sherlock Holmes scent (which I reviewed a little less enthusiastically), you get something that must smell very much like the parlor at 221 B Baker Street. For that reason, I bumped it up from a 3 to a 4 (and I might just put a dab of each on and trot out the Jeremy Brett-Sherlock Holmes DVDs for a marathon.)
