A luxuriously sensual philtre of ginger flower, mandarin orange, ripe plums, saffron, pink pepper, almond blossoms, masala chai, pink lotus, sambac jasmine, tonka, white chocolate, guaiac wood, and orris root.
"My brain is wild, my breath comes quick,—
The blood is listening in my frame,
And thronging shadows, fast and thick,
Fall on my overflowing eyes:
My heart is quivering like a flame;
As morning dew, that in the sunbeam dies,
I am dissolved in these consuming ecstasies."
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
