Latest Reviews of Midnight Ride
Secrets, songs and tales
Taverns, troubles, tricks and trails
Spices, 'powder, a
Quick bowl of chowder
And a pair of old flintlocks
In that cedar box.
Give me some of that
Old time new time same timey
Woodambergreasy
Incensational
Two Hundred and Fiftyish
Something happened smell
Antique pipe so old
Tobacco smell done vanished
All that's left is wood
That will never match
What's coming through the window
Same air that they breathed
Spice and wood so faint
That it roars back in silence
This really happened.
*****
Midnight Ride is a very accessible niche woodie that actually smells different from all the rest, and especially from mainstream offerings. Everybody does "pencil shavings" and "wood and spice", but not the impression that what you 're smelling is both good and (incongruously) over two centuries old. This fragrance has good strength, solid longevity, admirable complexity, and definite uniqueness. The balance between the various facets and aspects is comforting. It's not too dry, nor too humid - not too fresh, nor too spicy. But most importantly, it has feeling.

When wood remembers
And spice says the time is now
The clock strikes the hour.
