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
The Dark Side of Earth: deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetery loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead.
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.
Inspired by the tragic, ill-fated love of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. This is our modernization of a 17th-century perfume blend favored by British aristocracy: rosemary, orange flower, grape spirit, five rose variants, lemon peel, and mint.
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.

I got the Imp, and now I’m hooked. It’s a sweet and clean smell, and the honeyed ginger stands out prominently.
Of course I’m hooked just in time for it to be out of stock…

As others have noted, the description of the fragrance notes does NOT capture this smell. It’s like… a piece of candied ginger between the lips of a heavily powdered woman holding Play Doh and wearing an Arabian perfume. There is ginger, and a touch of sweet. There is powder, but it wasn’t overwhelming on my skin. There is that… salty and floury scent of, yes, Play Doh. And the slightest undernote of something exotic.
Honestly, I liked it, a lot. It sat well on my skin, and I had the faintest notes still there 10mhours later. That said, you had to press your nose to my wrist to smell it, even 5 minutes after applying. It is not a perfume that travels to others, which might make it perfect for work.

I got this as a sample and I have to say I’m really surprised by the description. I vaguely smell milk in this after it was pointed out, but my first thought was this smells like a gin cocktail, maybe a gimlet. I might be crazy, but it’s still a nice fragrance. I won’t wear it myself so I don’t know about the staying power.
