  Hunter’s Moon 2024 Perfume Oil

  I and Pangur Bán, my cat,

  ‘Tis a like task we are at;

  Hunting mice is his delight,

  Hunting words I sit all night.

   

  Better far than praise of men

  ‘Tis to sit with book and pen;

  Pangur bears me no ill-will,

  He, too, plies his simple skill.

   

  ‘Tis a merry thing to see

  At our tasks how glad are we,

  When at home we sit and find

  Entertainment to our mind.

   

  Oftentimes a mouse will stray

  In the hero Pangur’s way;

  Oftentimes my keen thought set

  Takes a meaning in its net.

   

  ‘Gainst the wall he sets his eye

  Full and fierce and sharp and sly;

  ‘Gainst the wall of knowledge I

  All my little wisdom try.

   

  When a mouse darts from its den,

  O! how glad is Pangur then;

  O! what gladness do I prove

  When I solve the doubts I love.

   

  So in peace our task we ply,

  Pangur Bán, my cat, and I;

  In our arts we find our bliss,

  I have mine, and he has his.

   

  Practice every day has made

  Pangur perfect in his trade;

  I get wisdom day and night,

  Turning darkness into light.

  – From the ninth-century Irish poem, Pangur Bán, translated by Robin Flower
  
  Sleek black fur, fuzzy tonka bean, bronze amber and yellow bergamot, black patchouli, honeyed chestnut, and pumpkin incense.

  John Locke Perfume Oil

  JOHN LOCKE of England and France and England and Holland and England (1632 CE – 1704 CE)

  English philosopher John Locke was a Great Thinker.

  As with many a Great Thinker, sometimes his brilliant ideas tilted at each other, and sometimes the luminous heart of his theories of property (you are not property! you own yourself! and your labor!) proved inadequately lit – anyway, not enough to enlighten his investment in the shady business of capturing and enslaving people.

  Locke could be bracingly independent. He upended convention by growing less conservative and less authoritarian with age.

  In his era, the political waters could be choppy (adj. “variable, tumultuous, filled with beheadings”), and from time to time he was obliged to flee. He fled to France (1675-1679). He fled to Holland (1683-1689).

  The Father of Liberalism’s ideas about natural rights and the social contract inspired many other flawed Great Thinkers, among them the framers of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

  To this day, we continue to perfect the ideas John Locke advocated: government by consent of the people, individual rights, tolerance, scientific and evidence-based inquiry, liberty, and reason.

  John Locke was a Virgo.

  New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they’re not already common.

  A blend of 17th century grooming products and some Sexy Virgo Philosopher Leather Action: lavender pomade, a splash of Carmelite water, tonka bean, and a well-worn strop.

  Good Ship Venus Perfume Oil

  The third mate’s name was Morgan
  By God he was a gorgon
  From half past eight he played till late
  Upon the captain’s organ

  The rest of the lyrics are too bawdy for me to post outside of a Lupercalia warning.

  Salt-crusted wooden planks warmed by cardamom, 7-year aged patchouli, tonka bean, mace, and black pepper.
