A brace of loaded pistols
He carried night and day;
He never robbed a poor man
Upon the king’s highway;
But what he’d taken from the rich,
Like Turpin and Black Bess,
He always did divide it
With the widow in distress.
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather
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.
A shot of pure, self-indulgent euphoria! A scent that is very, very wicked in its own way: the serotonin-slathered scent of pure milk chocolate.

Tried it on and absolutely love it so far! To me it smells very oceanic for sure, and almost masculine, but not in a bad way. Once it dried the leather notes started to peek through a little. This would be the perfect fragrance to wear on stormy days.

A REALLY nice aquatic. Not soapy to me, and not sneezy. More of a masculine scent to my nose, but would definitely work unisex. The salty wooden floorboards really shine here — it’s woody, but has that salty-wet crispness to it. Very summer, very bright.
Where I’d wear this: To a themed waterpark, high summer

This is my go-to summer scent. Salty sea air, florals, and faint spices. If I know I’m going to get a little sweaty on the way to work but I still want to smell nice when I get there, this is what I reach for. I ordered an imp to try it out and it’s now on my list for a full bottle.

Definitely more on the soapy side with a hint of flowers when you put it on your skin. However after a few minutes the soap-smell fades and the flowers mellow to let the other ‘sea air’ smell peak through. A very light fragrance I may use for an interview or at the office as it doesn’t overpower my neighbors like some heavier scents. In my bottle I don’t get much of the leathers until the soapiness is completely died down and the flowers are nothing but a memory.

Calico Jack’s scent is an exact replica of how I remember Adventureland at Disney. I’m on a pirate ship and there’s a salty hint lightly playing over damp wood as waves lick the planks, the slight musk of spices drifting up from the hold below deck. This is the aroma of childhood, mischief, daring adventure and discovery.

Very soapy-smelling with a hint of floral, with the floral side coming out more in the dry-down. I don’t get much of the leather or “memories of spices” – instead, it smells to me like a slightly darker iteration of a Bath and Body Works-style beachy fragrance. Not terrible in and of itself but definitely not my cup of tea.
