Though thy slumber may be deep,
Yet thy spirit shall not sleep;
There are shades which will not vanish,
There are thoughts thou canst not banish;
By a power to thee unknown,
Thou canst never be alone;
Thou art wrapt as with a shroud,
Thou art gather’d in a cloud;
And for ever shalt thou dwell
In the spirit of this spell.
A profound and entrancing potion. Deep, wispy, and unfathomably dark: vetiver, dark woods, crumbling and burnt black sandalwood and a drop of lemon rind.
Arrr! Avast ye, matey! This be the scent of pirate rum!
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.
John Dee: master of science, alchemy and magic, Hermetic philosopher in the schools of Rosicrucian Christian Mysticism and Platonic-Pythagorean doctrine, and Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, advisor, cryptologist and spy. With Edward Kelly, he created a field of study and work in Angelic Evocation, and isolated the Angelic language: Enochian. His scent is soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods.

a picture of my childhood in virginia. a summer camp nature walk with the funkiest old ladies in Appalachia, their perfume, my sunscreen, huddled in a circle around the little magic centipedes that smell like amaretto when theyre scared because they produce raw cyanide. a sweet memory of having a sweet little time with a scary thing. i was really happy that day, and im happy again now too because of this frimp

Got this as a bonus imp in my order and it’s one of my favourites! Smells kind of like Dr.Pepper or cherry coke to me but settles into my skin in a pleasing way. Delicious!!

In LOVE with this. I didn’t expect to really bond with this one but I MUST get a full bottle.
Almond is a very nostalgic scent to me so it’s probably personal/based on my positive childhood memories but I love love love this scent. The other reviews are super accurate; cherry almond to foodie/cinnamon/soft finish that makes you smell like something delicious.
10/10 absolutely getting more!

Cherry almond sand amaretto in the vial, which becomes more of an almond + floral scent, almost a little bit like lilac when wet. As it dried the almond smell remained, the floral scent increased, the cherry disappeared, and there was an added powdery aspect at the end.
It was very pleasant. My partner liked it and probably would’ve doused an entire room with it if we’d been about to purchase it as a room spray. Lovely, though a little more mature for my tastes.

Received this imp with an order I placed and had no idea what to expect. This scent is AMAZING. So soft, sweet and a little bit spicy. I can’t stop smelling myself lol.

Strong cherry almond.

This is a nice scent, though for me not outstanding. Wet in the bottle and on my skin it smells deliciously of sharp, cherry-like almond. Cinnamon amps on me, and sadly as this begins to dry the cinnamon comes out strong and hot. If I can get through that phase it mellows into more of a creamy, slightly floral scent, but on me the cinnamon lingers.

A yummy foodie scent, but I do not think of an eclipse or any celestial event when I wear it, but I may still get a big bottle because men love it when women smell like we can cook!

This scent is magical. It is one of my absolutely favorites.
The first scent is something candy-like and a little boozy. It kinda reminds me of walking into a candy store when they’re making fudge.
Upon it drying, it turns into something more floral, probably from the heliotrope.
Once it is fully dry and has been on my skin for a little bit, it turns back into something sweet, but this time something kinda pastry-like.

My favorite of them all, though definitely I’m feeling edible when wearing it. It’s warm and autumnal. The almond stays forward on me.

Smells like sweet cherry almond. Delicious

In the imp: ALMOND. It’s strong, but I love almond notes. If I inhale really deeply, I get a bit of cinnamon, but I’m mainly just smelling almond.
Wet: Creamy almond and cinnamon. The almond is the dominant note. I am glad this only contains a drop of cinnamon, and that it doesn’t burn. The cinnamon seems to be becoming more prominent, and the creaminess isn’t actually part of the almond note at all. It’s the vanilla note complementing the almond. After a while, the frankincense starts to peek out. The almond note does register as a bitter almond to my nose now.
Dry: At first, it was bitter almond, frankincense, and cinnamon.
Later on, the vanilla has decided to announce its creamy presence again, and the cinnamon is the dominant note.
Verdict: I really like this, and I’m surprised that I didn’t try this one sooner. The combination of the almond, vanilla, and cinnamon give this an icing-on-a-spiced-cookie vibe, but the frankincense keeps it from being distinctly foody.

I got Eclipse as an imp and all I get from it is almond boozy note like amaretto with a dash of cinnamon. I couldn’t find the Frankincense and heliotrope. It reminds me of something you would add to a rum cake before you cooked it.
