    i haven't tried the perfume or bath oil yet, but the hair gloss is very leather heavy with a bit of dark roses on top. Throughout the day I could smell whiffs of leather and when I washed my hair the hot water made the bathroom smell like the hair gloss as well. I do like it, but wished it was more rose heavy (i guess that's what rose red is for). This was my first time trying a hair gloss and I am fully converted!! I was using bath and massage oil for my hair (medium thickness soft asian color-treated hair), but I think I need to have a hair gloss collection now...unfortunately for my wallet.

    Some folk in courts for pleasure sue,
    An’ some ransack the theatre:
    The airy nymph is won by few;
    She’s of so coy a nature.
    She shuns the great bedaub’d with lace,
    Intent on rural jokin
    An’ spite o’ breeding, deigns to grace
    A merry Airshire rockin,
    Sometimes at night.

    At Halloween, when fairy sprites
    Perform their mystic gambols,
    When ilka witch her neebour greets,
    On their nocturnal rambles;
    When elves at midnight-hour are seen,
    Near hollow caverns sportin,
    Then lads an’ lasses aft convene,
    In hopes to ken their fortune,
    By freets that night.

    At Jennet Reid’s not long ago,
    Was held an annual meeting,
    Of lasses fair an’ fine also,
    With charms the most inviting:
    Though it was wat, an’ wondrous mirk,
    It stopp’d nae kind intention;
    Some sprightly youths, frae Loudon-kirk,
    Did haste to the convention,
    Wi’ glee that night.

    The nuts upon a clean hearthstane,
    Were plac’d by ane anither,
    An’ some gat lads, an’ some gat nane,
    Just as they bleez’d the gither.
    Some sullen cooffs refuse to burn;
    Bad luck can ne’er be mended;
    But or they a’ had got a turn,
    The pokeful nits was ended
    Owre soon that night.

    A candle on a stick was hung,
    An’ ti’d up to the kipple:
    Ilk lad an’ lass, baith auld an’ young,
    Did try to catch the apple;
    Which aft, in spite o’ a’ their care,
    Their furious jaws escaped;
    They touch’d it ay, but did nae mair,
    Though greedily they gaped,
    Fu’ wide that night.

    The dishes then, by joint advice,
    Were plac’d upon the floor;
    Some stammer’d on the toom ane thrice,
    In that unlucky hour.
    Poor Mall maun to the garret go,
    Nae rays o’ comfort meeting;
    Because sae aft she’s answered no,
    She’ll spend her days in greeting,
    An’ ilka night.

    Poor James sat trembling for his fate;
    He lang had dree’d the worst o’t;
    Though they had tugg’d and rugg’d till yet,
    To touch the dish he durst not.
    The empty bowl, before his eyes,
    Replete with ills appeared;
    No man nor maid could make him rise,
    The consequence he feared
    Sae much that night.

    - Janet Little

    The scent of chatty witches gossiping with neighbors at midnight: ripe red apples, honey mead, poppy seed cakes, a trickle of sweet 7-year aged patchouli, and bundles of dry herbs.

     

     

    apples and hay with herbs. patchouli come out after a while to mellow it out.

    Citrusy, gingery aftershave...I actually really like it. It's light and professional appropriate. Yes, it gets a little soapy, but with the notes, it still works and smells great! No need for a bottle, but glad to have a decant.
