On to Pieria he stepped from the upper air, and swooped down upon the sea, and then sped over the wave like a bird, the cormorant, which in quest of fish over the dread gulfs of the unresting sea wets its thick plumage in the brine. In such wise did Hermes ride upon the multitudinous waves. But when he had reached the island which lay afar, then forth from the violet sea he came to land, and went his way until he came to a great cave, wherein dwelt the fair-tressed nymph; and he found her within. A great fire was burning on the hearth, and from afar over the isle there was a fragrance of cleft cedar and juniper, as they burned; but she within was singing with a sweet voice as she went to and fro before the loom, weaving with a golden shuttle. Round about the cave grew a luxuriant wood, alder and poplar and sweet-smelling cypress, wherein birds long of wing were wont to nest, owls and falcons and sea-crows with chattering tongues, who ply their business on the sea. And right there about the hollow cave ran trailing a garden vine, in pride of its prime, richly laden with clusters. And fountains four in a row were flowing with bright water hard by one another, turned one this way, one that. And round about soft meadows of violets and parsley were blooming. There even an immortal, who chanced to come, might gaze and marvel, and delight his soul; and there the messenger Argeiphontes stood and marvelled.
Crisp sea air, kelp, and climbing vines, flame-singed cedarwood and juniper branches, cypress boughs, alder wood, violets, selino, parsley, glistritha, and white sage.

Smooth, pure lemons and luxurious bath cosmetics… I wish it was stronger as it’s very lovely. Also, I think it’s a true unisex scent.
Gloame –
Green lemons and tea. It does remind me of another BPAL scent, but I can’t think of what it is.
Where I’d wear this: Taking tea in the solar, windows open

Smells almost identical to Embalming Fluid and Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea, but this isn’t so musky and is slightly more lemony.

Crisp and clean indeed, with the lemon as the most powerful note. It’s not something I would pick out for myself, but the boyfriend likes it, so I wear it for him.

I was afraid this would go powdery on me when I first put it on. It changed after it dried down into an absolutely beautiful floral-lemon scent. It was very refreshing, however it didn’t last very long on me. It faded within the hour, but it’s still absolutely stunning.

This is absolutely amazing. I love it. It sounded nice in the description, it smells even better on my skin. Fresh, light, summery – it just is amazing

This scent when wet is cool and wonderful. The lemon is the prevailing scent, but as is dries the honeysuckle sneaks in. The light lemon and green tea notes keep this scent cool as it dries.
I am getting this one in a larger bottle! It is fantastic!
