“It is only a gesture,” he said, turning back to Shadow. “But gestures mean everything. The death of one dog symbolizes the death of all dogs. Nine men they gave to me, but they stood for all the men, all the blood, all the power. It just wasn’t enough. One day, the blood stopped flowing. Belief without blood only takes us so far. The blood must flow.”
“I saw you die,” said Shadow.
“In the god business,” said the figure—and now Shadow was certain it was Wednesday, nobody else had that rasp, that deep cynical joy in words, “it’s not the death that matters. It’s the opportunity for resurrection. And when the blood flows . . .”
Three days on the tree, three days in the underworld, three days to find your way back: ash, oak, and elm; vetiver, dragon’s blood resin, and cypress; frankincense, copal, and chamomile.
Behind the diminutive stage, the puppet mistress stands, a pale and grinning Professor, the Lady of Chaos. Her hands are tangled in web-like strings; a swazzle peeks through her violet lips. Behind her, you see a wavering image, with all the vague haziness of a mirage: a leaping coyote, a flame-haired and scarred Norseman, a glittering golden spider, a laughing monkey, a leering satyr, a shadowy flutist, and an African youth dressed in black and red.
Jasmine sambac, dark musk, violet water, vanilla bean and mimosa.
Dark musk and black amber with frankincense, red sandalwood, neroli and bergamot.
A scent celebrating Sir Francis Dashwood’s Order of the Knights of St. Francis of Wycombe, also known as the Hellfire Club. A swirl of pipe tobacco, hot leather, ambergris, dark musk and the lingering incense smoke from their Black Mass.

Cold and little bitter… grapefruit and mint are the most prominent on my skin.

When I smelled this scent in the bottle I wasn’t the biggest fan, it smelled like fruit cake. However, when I put it on it completely transformed and I love it! It smells fruity and powdery in the best way possible. It also perfectly encapsulates the esoteric and zany nature of the Cheshire Cat!

absolutely enchanting. great hints of fruit and playful undertones.

This is so beautiful. It reminds me of the mainstream Maison Francis Kurkdjian Petit Matin!

I received my order for the Cheshire Cat perfume oil this morning, and I absolutely love it.
The only reason I didn’t write this perfume oil the full five stars is because, the scent is a little overwhelming in the bottle. But when applied to my skin, it’s a different story.
When smelling the Cheshire cut perfume oil straight out of the bottle I get the sense of current and dark Musk. I’m not entirely sure about how I feel with just those two sense mixing together.
However, once applied to the skin, I can still smell the scent of currents but the Musk trails away, and is replaced with the grapefruit note.
The best way to describe the perfume scent, is that of a fruit marmalade candy, mixed with some sort of earthy freshness. I’m guessing that would be from the lavender.
As the perfume wears down, it starts to become even sweeter. Kind of like a naturally fruity scent top with a bit of sugar just to accentuate the sweetness even further.
The grapefruit note is the one that is the most long-lasting in this fragrance, on my skin.
Overall, I think Cheshire Cat is a beautiful perfume scent that would be lovely when, especially worn in the spring and summer months.
I’m eager to see how Cheshire Cat will change over time ?

I got this imp from a friend of mine. The first thing that hit me was the citrus sent mixed with an almost orange blossom. On me, that fades rather quickly. Like within an hour. After that I’m left with soft floral notes. I can definitely smell the lavender. It’s not something I’d typically wear but I’m pleased to try it out. It’s good with my chemistry and not as overpowering as other BPAL sents on me. A good everyday office sent.

The first time I got to smell this one I fell in love with it. Still one of my all time favourites! In the bottle it smells citrusy, sweet and it’s rather sharp but has a soft undertone of what I think is lavender. On the skin it smells like grapefruit, but now it has gone a bit floral as well so it’s not as sharp anymore. The lavender is nowhere to be found on me. Still a sweet, fresh scent.

Bright citrus scent while wet..drys down to reveal more delicate notes.
I paired this one with Magus on my arm…really lovely, uplifting combo.
Lots of good, happy terpenes here.

Tart, juicy, true grapefruit. Sometimes I can pick out a hint of red currant berries or cool lavender, but it’s mostly grapefruit.

This is quite pretty and a little bit crazy smelling. It’s soft and harmonizing, but as you inhale deeper, there’s a little bit of tart craziness in the grapefruit and musk. Very lovely!

I received a frimp of this in a recent purchase. It is a lavender blend with green herbal notes. It is very fresh and clean. Though not exactly my thing, I gave it to a friend who immediately put it on and had a smile on her face.

Out ov the vial, very citrusy and abit herbal too. As it dries on my it gets softer and the chamomiles comes out as do the other florals, it gets sweeter too. I do agree with the other poster that there is something reminicent of clean, fresh cat litter but only as a background scent. I think it’s because it is a very clean scent. It is quite strong I put just a dab on the crook of my elbow and I can get whiffs of it with my arm outstretched. It’s a very nice smell but not necessarily my thing. (I tend to like either very sweet smells, or musky/spicey/woody smells. Not usually into florals.)

An interesting one. “Curious,” if you will.
Opening the bottle to sniff, it smells sharp and citrusy.
Used sparingly (before I open it, I flip the bottle once, and dab just the residue from around the lip of the vial), it smells sweet and powdery (not like baby powder. More kitty powdery…I mean this in a good way…maybe some cat owners will know what I’m talking about) with just a hint of the sharper floral scents.
If I cup the open bottle against my wrist and then tip it, the full blown scent is very floral and the soft, sweet powdery scent is gone.
I recommend using this one sparingly, as it’s very strong otherwise.
