Palatial grandeur in ruins, its decrepit majesty poised in the liminal space between decay and beauty. A haunting memory of all-consuming desire: the rich, earthy depth of oud, vetiver, and moss, grounded in the untamed wilds of the forest, echoing the ancient stones that remain. “It was a bad family, and here its bloodstained annals were written,” he continued. “It is hard that they should, after death, continue to plague the human race with their atrocious lusts.”

Come, we must see and act. Devils or no devils, or all the devils at once, it matters not; we fight him all the same. — Bram Stoker, Dracula Words to live by as we plunge headlong into 2025. Our first Lunacy scent of the year is a honking good time, in spite of it all: goosefeather-white sandalwood and orris butter splashed by sour cherry cordial, red plum juice, caramelized tobacco absolute, black champaca brocade, and a touch of red chili pepper.

Rebellion, protest, liberation. As far back as at least ancient Egypt, art has been used to protest injustice, ridicule religious and political leaders, promote liberty and social justice, and foster change. This is an oil of creative fire and inspiration – of radical sacred expression – charged with the spirits of both self-soverignity and defiance. It is an oil of fierce imagination and fearlessness that ignites visions of a better future, defies oppression, and enables you to channel your rage or fear into works of powerful art.

Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing. Wasn’t that a dainty dish To set before the king? A delicacy to be puffed and then passed, dainty as you please: rye puff pastry crust splitting apart to reveal a cacophony of musky wild blackberries stewed in kush-infused butter.

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall. Bittersweet pink grapefruit, golden peach, lime rind, and amber.

This one is much lighter than I would have expected given the notes. It is clean and fresh, but I'm not getting a ton of pine from this like most other reviewers (if you have Rocky Mountain Goats and are wondering how this one compares, that one is a fuckton of pine, and this doesn't smell foresty at all). This is a fresh, clean, green and floral scent in my hair, with the crushed, dewy grass and juniper cozying up to a non-indolic white floral note (I agree with Little Bird that this doesn't smell distinctly like jasmine and that the overall hair gloss has a floral shampoo feel to it). I was hoping that this one would be heavier on the pine.
