PERFUME OIL BLENDS
Presented in an amber apothecary vial.
$5.25 – $21.00
Shocking, horrific, fierce, savage, sensationalized, luminous and hazy: black currant, Bulgarian lavender and white musk with a dollop of thick resin and a voltaic charge of ozone notes.

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.
True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent.
Arrr! Avast ye, matey! This be the scent of pirate rum!
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

I don’t know what it is, but I was wondering why this scent combined with my clean laundry brought me back to Germany as a child. The connection was made when my friend told me it reminded her of a grandma – my oma! Not to say she’s not a formidable woman or that this isn’t a formidable scent, but it seems not quite what the word lurid brings to mind. Definitely a clean but not too clean soft scent that also has a bit of hidden strength behind it. While scents do change with batches and with age, needless to say I love it and will be purchasing a full bottle of it in the immediate future.

Sweet, spicy, and almost kind of…. salty? It reminds me of fruit that’s been sitting in the sun mixed with warm spices. The ozone and lavender lighten up the scent so that it’s not overwhelmingly heady. Not really my style, but certainly an interesting fragrance.

I’m not even sure where to start with that description, so I’ll just say it’s a nice fruity musk. The currants are the topmost note and what dominates in the beginning, but the musk is really what stays behind.
It’s actually a really clean scent (probably the lavender), which I think a lot of people would like. Unfortunately the ozone lasts the whole way through, and that note just never plays out quite right on me, personally.

From Dracula by Bram Stoker(1897):
“But the Count! Never did I imagine such wrath and fury, even in the demons of the pit. His eyes were positively blazing. The red light in them was lurid, as if the flames of hell-fire blazed behind them. His face was deathly pale, and the lines of it were hard like drawn wires; the thick eyebrows that met over the nose now seemed like a heaving bar of white-hot metal. With a fierce sweep of his arm, he hurled the woman from him, and then motioned to the others…” (pg. 36).
The hell-fire of currents and smoke, the white-hot combination of musk and ozone…the fierce power and sexual magnitude…this is the perfect scent description. Thank you, Beth. I think you did your homework!

Right out of the imp I was indeed shocked, almost horrified, but not quite in a good way, it put me off at first and I actually was reluctant to apply it and actually try it on, it just smells very very strong and fierce right fresh, as soon as I actually gave it a go and rubbed in on my wrists really well the fierce dulled down a LOT! And it morphed into this absolutely heady wonderful clean lavender with just the right amount of musk, I fell so head over heels in love with it i only tried it today and already half the imp is gone, ive been re applying it all day haha! Ill be definitely buying a full size, this reminds me of a lazy but sensual warm summer night somehow.
