Catharsis

The mystery of an alchemical treasure revealed after thousands of years—forgotten spices and precious resins. Mysterious notes of cloves and nutmeg are gently softened by neroli, which barely has time to fully emerge before being drawn into the heart, where saffron and whiskey reign over a floral accord of ylang and rose. The magic of this enchanting formula unfolds from the base, where oud, guaiac wood, cedar, and a powerful leather accord leave their sensual, mysterious mark on the wearer’s skin.

A thousand volts from top to bottom or a slow broil. Paralysis or freedom. Whatever it is for you will not be the same for me, and just as well because wouldn’t the same of everything make this world a horrible place to live? A light flight or a long dark swim that ends in tragedy, what do I know what it means to live in your shoes? I just know what my chaotic reality feels like, the nerves that make me feel so much can also numb themselves but that’s where art comes into play. That’s where life should begin. That’s when you set yourself on fire and you put down the violin and pick up the electric guitar. Shout yourself into existence! WE ARE NOT HERE SIMPLY TO DISAPPEAR! Say it again and again, Amen.
