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

True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent.
Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.
In Hermetic alchemy, brimstone is one of the Three Heavenly Substances, one of the primary alchemical Principles It represents the strength of will and the vigor of passion, and it is a symbol of the process of fermentation. A smoky, gritty blend, husky and gray.
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.

It was a subtle perfume that clung to me all day like a secret, rather than being noticed by my colleagues like other perfumes have been. Immediate notes were wet and earthy like a stickup on a rainy midnight; the lingering smell reminded me of Imperial soap bars, a very clean and precise smell, with a bit of woodsmoke and brandy. A night in a nice dry tavern afterwards? Great for the times you want to be a little more masc-presenting, as the florals aren’t as strong or lingering.

Highwayman smells like a dusty old room filled with leather furniture, books and dried flowers – but I’m also smelling something here that reminds me of a delicious warm peanut butter sandwich.

This one reminds me of Lyoness. Must be the musky jasmine notes. It’s a soft floral with just a hint of that leather that warms it ever so slightly. I haven’t gotten any cinnamon. On me, it lasts for several hours.

I love this one. It’s one of my favorite cool weather scents. I like the leather and floral tones, though the cinnamon does not seem to be present. My boyfriend also loves it/

Beautifully floral, but after a short time of wearing the vetiver creeps in with a more smokey, leathery smell; which I absolutely adore.
It’s a complex mix of immediate floral, but the darker, sharper tones are noticeable enough to give pause.

I’m still giving this one a 4, but something in it makes my skin break out in hives where it makes contact… otherwise it’s a gorgoeus, complex scent. The leather and cinnamon pop immediately when wet, but after a short time the gardenia and jasmine come to the forefront, sharpened by a greenness that I assume is the vetiver and underlaid by a hint of musky, smoky leather. Really lovely, and if it didn’t make me itchy, rest assured I’d buy a full bottle.

The gardenia is very strong when this is wet, made strong I think by the leather. As this one dries I found the gardenia to still stand out above the other flowers, but it added to an overall floral tone. The cinnamon wasn’t present for my experience, but perhaps like the leather, added to the headiness of the gardenia.

Highwayman is a very flowery scent and brings to mind gardenias in the moonlight. It is a little strong at first but after a couple of minutes on the skin you are able to pick up all of the other ingredients in the perfume. It’s definitely a good perfume for a romantic night.
