Thus saying, from her side the fatal Key,
Sad instrument of all our woe, she took;
And towards the Gate rouling her bestial train,
Forthwith the huge Porcullis high up drew,
Which but her self not all the Stygian powers
Could once have mov’d; then in the key-hole turns
Th’ intricate wards, and every Bolt and Bar
Of massie Iron or sollid Rock with ease
Unfast’ns: on a sudden op’n flie
With impetuous recoile and jarring sound
Th’ infernal dores, and on thir hinges great
Harsh Thunder, that the lowest bottom shook
Of Erebus. She op’nd, but to shut
Excel’d her power; the Gates wide op’n stood,
That with extended wings a Bannerd Host
Under spread Ensigns marching might pass through
With Horse and Chariots rankt in loose array;
So wide they stood, and like a Furnace mouth
Cast forth redounding smoak and ruddy flame.
Before thir eyes in sudden view appear
The secrets of the hoarie deep, a dark
Illimitable Ocean without bound,
Without dimension, where length, breadth, and highth,
And time and place are lost; where eldest Night
And Chaos, Ancestors of Nature, hold
Eternal Anarchie, amidst the noise
Of endless warrs and by confusion stand.
Solace in darkness, the personification of shadow: lavender, black vanilla, white melon, night-blooming jasmine, rose, cedar, cyclamen, violet, and hyacinth.

I can almost see and feel a cold, moist wind blowing out of the bottle when I open it. Wet – damp leaves skittering across the fields next to the forest. Dry – it has a slight floral tone under the bed of forest leaves. Amazing.

This is such an amazing scent. It smells like passion in the truck bed of an old Ford, down a quiet country lane, in early fall before it gets too cold, under a harvest moon with a wind blowing through the forest trees that makes you want to snuggle in deeper to loving arms. I bought it for my Boi, and when he wears it, women love to sniff his neck… needless to say, he now wears it a lot!

This smells almost exactly like a fall-scented candle you’d find in a store, with the maple and cedar at the forefront. If you’re a fan of candles that remind you of the autumn time, this is the scent for you.
