‘Tis said that when
The hands of men
Tamed this primeval wood,
And hoary trees with groans of woe,
Like warriors by an unknown foe,
Were in their strength subdued,
The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
To springs that ne’er did flow
That in the sun Did rivulets run,
And all around rare flowers did blow
The wild rose pale Perfumed the gale
And the queenly lily adown the dale
(Whom the sun and the dew
And the winds did woo),
With the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew.
So when in tears
The love of years
Is wasted like the snow,
And the fine fibrils of its life
By the rude wrong of instant strife
Are broken at a blow
Within the heart
Do springs upstart
Of which it doth now know,
And strange, sweet dreams,
Like silent streams
That from new fountains overflow,
With the earlier tide
Of rivers glide
Deep in the heart whose hope has died —
Quenching the fires its ashes hide, —
Its ashes, whence will spring and grow
Sweet flowers, ere long,
The rare and radiant flowers of song!
A sunlit ancient forest, dotted with wild roses, grape vine, and queenly lilies, clothed in swirls of opium smoke.

Oh my god, delicious butterscotch. It smells positively edible. I think this would layer quite nicely with Miskatonic University’s coffee aroma and enhance the rich rum notes of Grog.
So happy with my frimp, thanks BPAL 🙂

Sweet and buttery. Sorta goes coconutty as the day draws on. Reminds me of days at the beach, but I prefer Port-au-Prince, a warmer, richer rum-based scent.

Bought this as an imp for my spouse. I was looking for a boozy scent…this is buttered rum candy. A lot sweeter smelling than expected but very yummy. Not a scent my spouse would wear often as neither of us think it’s very masculine. It doesn’t last long on skin but add a touch to hair and you get whiffs all day.

I received a frimp of this with my first order, and I may have to purchase more. A sweet, almost buttery smell of rum without the consequences of alcohol. A perfect accent for my pirate getup.

I got my Grog in an imp with an order. To me, it was a purely sweet butterscotch. Foody and simple. Made me hungry.

This is fabulous – It’s fruity but not really sweet. It’s very warm and reminds me of the pirate hangout in Warcraft – Booty Bay.
I have just an imp of this, but since I’ve fallen so desperately in love with it, I’m going to have to buy a bottle.
It also seems to last for a really long time!
