fisticuffs in a cathedral

Pure pepper on ginger violence. (Albeit poetic violence). This stuff is feisty, pugnacious. Beyond the spice there’s some churchy resins and oiled woods egging on the fight. There is also a definite mosquito repellant accord in the first few minutes, but more lemongrassy/herbal-remedy than 99% DEET. I wore it to work and was on edge the whole day, though my sinuses have never felt clearer. Probably makes a great anti-insomnia aid.

Mental Snapshot: What I’d wear if I wanted to fight someone. Like bare-knuckle brawl style, but somewhere classy – perhaps a mahogany-panelled library or an opera house. Fisticuffs in a cathedral.

tl;dr: aggro herbal
