A viridescent potion of otherworldly botanicals - wild ginger, purple hyacinths, datura accord, green ivy, nightshade leaf, wet oakmoss, tonka, freshly turned earth, and dark galbanum.

No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

- John Keats

Art: A Climbing Plant of Old North Calabar by Mariane North, 1880

Absolutely STUNNING fragrance. It matches my poison garden vibes all day and I always had people stop and ask me what I was wearing!! There was a powdery note that I wasn't expecting but still loved! I actually just placed another order because moon goddess also had a datura note in it and that's really what I'm after, and I NEEDED a full size of "sigil", which was one of the samples i was sent and fell IN LOVE with! Obsessed with Alkemia!

The scent is unlike anything ive ever tried, beautiful and dry while maintaining the earthy-damp notes!!!
