Earth sorceress and mother of Mordred, she is, in essence, the harbinger of King Arthur’s doom and the downfall of Camelot. She is a sister, or sister-self, to Morgan Le Fay. A bouquet of five night-blooming flowers deepened by dusky violet, purple fruits and the barest breath of medieval incenses.

“The Pretty Era”, France’s Golden Time: an age of beauty, innovation and peace in France that lasted from the 19th Century through the first World War and gave birth to the cabaret, the cancan, and the cinema as well as the Impressionist and Art Nouveau movements. Sweet opium, Lily of the Valley, vanilla, mandarin and red sandalwood.
The Dark Side of Earth: deep, brooding forest scents, including juniper and patchouli. The scent of upturned cemetery loam mingling with floral offerings to the dead.
‘Tis said that when
The hands of men
Tamed this primeval wood,
And hoary trees with groans of woe,
Like warriors by an unknown foe,
Were in their strength subdued,
The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
To springs that ne’er did flow
That in the sun Did rivulets run,
And all around rare flowers did blow
The wild rose pale Perfumed the gale
And the queenly lily adown the dale
(Whom the sun and the dew
And the winds did woo),
With the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew.
So when in tears
The love of years
Is wasted like the snow,
And the fine fibrils of its life
By the rude wrong of instant strife
Are broken at a blow
Within the heart
Do springs upstart
Of which it doth now know,
And strange, sweet dreams,
Like silent streams
That from new fountains overflow,
With the earlier tide
Of rivers glide
Deep in the heart whose hope has died —
Quenching the fires its ashes hide, —
Its ashes, whence will spring and grow
Sweet flowers, ere long,
The rare and radiant flowers of song!
A sunlit ancient forest, dotted with wild roses, grape vine, and queenly lilies, clothed in swirls of opium smoke.
A disconcerting scent, heavy and oppressive, through which no light, no matter, and no spirit can escape. Black opium, labdanum, opoponax, black orchid, and benzoin.

Wet: floral, fruity, but deep, not saccharine, and there’s a tiny bit of something I can’t quite place
Just Dry: Fruit faded back, leaving a sweetened but deep floral, and a smoky resinous note is rising.
Later: Deep smoky floral, slight hint of sweetness

A very sweet, floral scent. I can just make out a touch of incense. It maintains that sweetness as it wears, so I’d say if you’re looking for a sweet floral this is a great choice.

This is a very flowey floral. Don’t be fooled by the product description. There’s nothing dark about this scent. It’s a very strong, long-lasting perfume that smells like a flower garden. Basically, this is a love it or hate it deal. If you’re the type that enjoys florals then you’ll go gaga over this one. But if florals don’t always work on you, then I’d steer clear.

This is a lovely dark floral scent. It’s heavy, and unlike other rose florals, it doesn’t go powdery on me. There’s an undercurrent of something tart and a little sweet. It doesn’t bring to mind any specific purple fruit to me, but it is enough fruit to balance the floral. It reminds me of old books and the Victorian era.
