An exquisite poignancy of salt and skin, crushed nicotania flowers, purple irises, Oregon Grape leaves, bitter orange, silver needle tea,  guiacwood, weeping cypress, Isatis bark,  and a sweet immolation of cloves.

"Now no joy but lacks salt,That is not dashed with painAnd weariness and faultI crave the stain  Of tears, the aftermarkOf almost too much love,The sweet of bitter barkAnd burning clove."

- Robert Frost
