When Thy Will Stung the World into Strife 2024

Recommended Posts

Dragon’s blood resin, red ginger, bourbon geranium, thorny rosemary,
red sandalwood, pink pepper, and green coffee bean.

 

 

Dost thou dream, in a respite of slumber,
In a lull of the fires of thy life,

Of the days without name, without number,

When thy will stung the world into strife;

When, a goddess, the pulse of thy passion

Smote kings as they revelled in Rome;

And they hailed thee re-risen, O Thalassian,

Foam-white, from the foam?

The big note I get out of this is geranium. Big ol' true geranium note, punching you in the nose. I am, in general, a fan of geranium; I like the sharp, decisive floral and herbal aspects of it. This one is a lot, though. There's something a little incense-y floating around (maybe the dragon's blood?), as well as something else, something almost bitter (coffee?), what could maybe if you squint be pepper and rosemary, but they just add complexity to the geranium and take it away from the "earthy" or "fresh" type of floral. It's sort of addictive, and a good scent for a prickly green witch... but I have no idea whether I actually like it.

Other reads: to my great surprise, both people who have caught whiffs of this have described it as "nice". One waxed poetic: "That's lavender, right? Some kind of lavender something, and then... nougat." ("Nougat???") "Yeah. Not like super sweet, but... nougat-y. Like there's lavender and also someone is making a snickers. But not as sweet as that sounds."
