Fitzwillliam is rolling in the wood

Freed of all pride and false prejudices, Fitzwilliam fell, smirking, on a completely needled forest floor just outside London. The abundant rain of the Regency had brought the resinous needles of the pines and cedars into the mushy ground, almost popping mushrooms from the cracked mouldy tips. But had the weather developed naturally, as did Fitzwilliam, the sun now shone on the mud, making it smoke romantically, spicy, woody, brittle and earthy-smelling. Giggling, Fitzwilliam rolled between the conifers. Oh, what should I smell like all the high lords, this is true nature after all! In the exuberance of this epiphanic knowledge, bergamots began to flap their wings among all the smoky earthy needles, the muddy shavings, dancing the ethereal breath of Australian tea trees, trying to heal all the English inflammations of the early nineteenth century, Arrogance and contempt, envy and jealousy, which still smoked and rotted in the earthy mire under the resinous needles of the conifers, dried out under the brown bark, in which the freshness also sank again.

"Mr Darcy" is a perfume oil from Tanya Kuznetsova's Ravenscourt Apothecary, which she has been running in London since 2013. In addition to natural perfume oils, which are naturally limited in shelf life (about three to five hours) and sillage (rather arm-length to skin-tight), she also manufactures other products such as natural soaps.
"Mr. Darcy", dedicated to one of the protagonists in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", who in turn embodies the epitome of the distanced romantic hero, lives from the tension between the prominent smoky-spicy as well as earthy myrrh, a rather brittle, pencil-like cedar, resinous pine needles as well as the ethereally tart freshness of bergamot and tea tree oil, which first appears in the heart note and then retreats again in the base note, behind the other notes. Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy only rolled on my arm for about three to four hours.
