DARKNESS
The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before;
The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air,
And the clouds perish'd; Darkness had no need
Of aid from them -- She was the Universe.

Bottled gloom; the essence of oblivion. Blackest opium and narcissus deepened by myrrh.

Hmm... Drat. I don't seem to be able to give this one a proper review. It smells like an oil I used to buy at RenFaire called China White, so I guess that's the opium. My nose doesn't know narcissus or myrrh well enough to pick out the notes. Maybe I should grab some myrrh at the local hippie shop so I can memorize it. This is pretty, though.

I need to learn more smells!

I love their descriptions. Ah, if only they delivered to the UK..

They do deliver to the UK, but you have to use Paypal to pay rather than CCNow.

Oh, really? *waves goodbye to money* I went to their website a few weeks ago hoping to buy some imps and there was a thing that said they only delivered within the US. I definietly missed something! Thanks :)

No problem! It says on the shopping cart -- which is powered by CCNow -- that they only ship to the US but that's something to do with the software. The Lab ships anywhere in the world. Just when you order, don't use Paypal via the shopping cart even though there's an option. I'm not sure about the international shipping rates though. I can't remember if you have to email for a quote or if that's on the FAQ page. cpolk should know though.

Thanks :D

And I can send some imps your way, when I'm done sorting through them all.

Thank you for the crit!

Ooh, thankyou :D

I can post enticing beade things, oddness or simply cash (well, cheque)in return.

Myrrh smells bitter.

really bitter.

and resinous.

It's the bitter smell in churches. Frankincense is the sweet one.
