The Path of the Thelemites
In Cefalù, an ancient abbey sleeps, there in the fog the spirit of Aleister Crowley. Hidden are the paths to it, the windows of the old walls locked, there sharp smoke wafts through the halls, light gray and bitter like smoldering cedars, it acts like a key and clarifies your mind. Recognize yourself in your mission, do you hear a whisper from the dark, the quiet corridors of leather and clay, in the light of lit matches, lies the path of the Thelemites.
**
Marcus R. McCoy, perfumer and operator of House of Orpheus, claims to have acquired the language of plants from shamans and the craft of distillation from the origins of alchemy. His creations move beyond the physical, transcending the liminal boundaries.
"93" is dedicated by McCoy to the Thelemites, Aleister Crowley's new religious movement, in which the will (Ancient Greek: 'Thelema') is at the center. 'Love is the law, love under will' it states, and with 'love' it means the path to the realization of the true mission, namely the 'will', which is equated with a person's calling, their purpose in life. The number 93 stands for Thelema in numerology.
The fragrance itself is a relatively monothematic triad of bright incense, gray cedar, and oud, which primarily has a sharp-spicy character, situated somewhere between black pepper and ethereal smoky cedar juniper, with darker accents set by leathery-clay notes of oud. The path of the Thelemites is of a calm nature but can be traversed for a good six to seven hours.
