I grieve and dare not show my discontent,
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.
My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.
Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.

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!
