Commentary from Joseph Quartana:  "Also known as “Foxglove” and besides being a poison flower, Digitalis has a tradition of being used by pagans to summon woodland spirits such as fairies and elves. Thus we created a sparkly, fresh ozonic fragrance to suggest the presence of fairies, set along the banks of a magical wooded stream. It is the most innocent, whimsical and childlike of our fatal potions."

"The foxglove bells, with lolling tongue, Will not reveal what peals were rung In Faery, in Faery, A thousand ages gone."  
—Mary Webb (Foxglove is the common name for Digitalis)
