dreadpiraterustypants2 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Yup, consolidatin', making a checklist, same thing! (most of these are in Bewitching Brews and Wanderlust, by the way~) PORT ROYAL The Sodom of the New World! -- touted as the richest and wickedest city in all creation! Port Royal was the center of 17th century Caribbean commerce, a notorious safe harbor for pirates, and the site of our third flagship store, which was, sadly, destroyed in the earthquake of 1692. Spiced rum and ship’s wood mixed with the body-warmed trace of a prostitute’s perfume and a hint of salty sea air on the dry-down. ÎLE DE LA TORTUE Home to the Brethren of the Coast and a notorious safe-haven for pirates, this island was once described as the common place of refuge for all sorts of wickedness, the seminary of pirates and thieves.Damp air trapped in limestone caverns, heady greenery, hothouse orchids, nicotiana blossoms, bois de chandel, elemi, palm wine, garambullo, pega-pega, flame of the forest, and a swirl of Haitian vetiver. WINDWARD PASSAGE Breezes blowing off of the waters of the Caribbean: marine accord, seaweed, and bladderwrack. ANNE BONNY Named in honor of the most notorious female pirate to ever set sail. Wicked, cruel, beautiful, intelligent, resourceful and dangerous: a true role model. A blend of Indonesian red patchouli, red sandalwood, and frankincense. A million thanks to Juliana Williamson-Page for inspiration! BLACK PEARL Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk. CALICO JACK Sea air, driftwood, waterlogged kelp, and the memory of plundered spices sprayed over worn leathers, rough musk, and the salty wooden floorboards of the Revenge. GROG Arrr! Avast ye, matey! This be the scent of pirate rum! JOLLY ROGER Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods. MARY READ Salt air, ocean mist, aged patchouli, sarsaparilla, watered-down rum, leather-tinged musk, and a spray of gunpowder. PLUNDER The scent of a pirate's bumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg. UNDERTOW The Dark Side of Water: clean and purifying, yet menacing -- lotus and juniper with a hint of mint. A scent dragged up from the depths to the Stygian shore. THE SAILOR'S DEN (salon) The Sailor's Den, Félicien Rops.Orris, bay rum, palm, coconut meat, oak wood, tobacco, linen, blue lilac, and leather.. TEMPEST A crisp ozone-tinged breeze. The scent of the first gentle rain before the storm. SANTO DOMINGO (Caribbean!) An exotic, sultry blend of tobacco leaf, bay rum and heady Caribbean blossoms. HURRICANE The Dark Side of Air: a high pitched, tangy, clear scent -- light China rain deepened by murky vetivert. and LE ones~ PIRATE MOON Avast thar! On Octobree th' 31st, Pirate Moon be hangin' high in th' sky! Mad Bess Moriarty, Scourge o` th' Se`en Seas, an' Captain T.J. Barrial wi' be joinin' the'r spirits in unholy matrimony! This scent be created t' commemorate th' union o' these two scurrilous sea dogs.So, splice th' mainbrace an' get thee loaded t' th' gunwales, me buckos, 'tis a time o' celebration!Red musk, ambergris, coconut palm, red sandalwood, balsam, date, warm leather, tobacco, ebony, lingum vitae wood, pandanus grass, an' a touch o' lime.20 Dubloons, ya swabbie! FREDERIC For some ridiculous reason, to which, however, I’ve no desire to be disloyal,Some person in authority, I don’t know who, very likely the Astronomer Royal,Has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days asa rule are plenty,One year in every four his days shall be reckoned as nine and twenty.Through some singular coincidence – I shouldn’t be surprised if it were owing to theagency of an ill-natured fairy –You are the victim of this clumsy arrangement, having been born in leap-year, on thetwenty-ninth of February;And so, by a simple arithmetical process, you’ll easily discover,That though you’ve lived twenty-one years, yet, if we go by birthdays,you’re only fiveand a little bit over!Alas, poor Frederic the Leapling! -- bound to the merry Pirates of Penzance until his twenty-first birthday.As his birthday comes around only every four years, so does his scent!Victorian whimsy and piratical romance: a reluctant seaman’s chypre sloshed with a mix of bay rum, patchouli, amber musk, dark woods, tea rose, and red currant. THE PHOENIX This naval galleon was boarded and commandeered in 1713 on the order of Mad Bess Moriarty, along with a fat fleet of ships bearing precious oils, rare resins, and exotic spices. Once the vessels were secured, Mad Bess selected the finest, fittest galleon from the ships that they had acquired, and chose it to be her flagship. Her crew set to work knocking down the cabins, making the ship flush fore and aft, and painting her low sides were painted black, with one thin riband of orange. They prepared black colors, and set bloodshot, glaring occuli along the entirety of the hull. A new figurehead was carved in the shape of a flame-wreathed, screaming bird, and the ship was sanctified with wine, rum, and the blood of their enemies.Mounted with 52 guns, and manned with the fiercest pirates to sail the Seven Seas, she was rechristened "the Phoenix".Sea air, gunpowder, lime, salt-crusted wood, a splash of blood, and a dribble of Snake Oil.miss any?
