This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.
This haunting, exotic scent is named in honor of the shapeshifting demons from Hindu mythology. Sandalwood with rose and patchouli.
Say that the men of the old black tower,
Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
Their money spent, their wine gone sour,
Lack nothing that a soldier needs,
That all are oath-bound men:
Those banners come not in.
There in the tomb stand the dead upright,
But winds come up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
Those banners come to bribe or threaten,
Or whisper that a man’s a fool
Who, when his own right king’s forgotten,
Cares what king sets up his rule.
If he died long ago
Why do you dread us so?
There in the tomb drops the faint moonlight,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
The tower’s old cook that must climb and clamber
Catching small birds in the dew of the morn
When we hale men lie stretched in slumber
Swears that he hears the king’s great horn.
But he’s a lying hound:
Stand we on guard oath-bound!
There in the tomb the dark grows blacker,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
A sepulchral, desolate scent. Long-dead soldiers, oath-bound; the perfume of their armor, the chill wind that surges through their tower, white bone and blackened steel: white sandalwood, ambergris, wet ozone, galbanum and leather with ebony, teak, burnt grasses, English ivy and a hint of red wine.
A brace of loaded pistols
He carried night and day;
He never robbed a poor man
Upon the king’s highway;
But what he’d taken from the rich,
Like Turpin and Black Bess,
He always did divide it
With the widow in distress.
Stand and deliver! Vetiver with gardenia, blood red rose, night-blooming jasmine, a dash of cinnamon and a faint hint of leather

Musky lemon verbena. I always worry about lemony perfumes smelling like cleaning products, but this was not the case 🙂 Probably because of the verbena, which dominates this blend, and the supporting white flowers.
It feels unisex, full and rich without being overwhelming. Not too bitter, not too sweet. The fruitier aspect goes away after an hour or so, leaving a darker, musky-floral scent that tickles… It’s a lantern-lit garden on a summer night.
A similar scent would be Katharina, but they’re siblings, not twins. Katharina would be the orange sister, Zephyr would be the yellow brother… Does that make sense?
It’s incredibly long lasting on me (12+hrs and I can still smell the musky citrusy sandalwood). Decent throw, comparable to Katharina and Endymion (their pear-green cousin).

This makes me smell of freshly squeezed lemonade wafting on a summer seaside wind – airy, fresh, and magical. It’s not something I’d normally wear but I very much enjoyed trying this frimp!

This reminds me of those fragrant, floral soaps you can buy from fancy perfumeries. Actually, it also reminds me of the general smell of a perfumery – all those different heady fragrances that people test by spraying them onto themselves or into the air. It’s too intense and flowery for me, but I suspect my mother will like it (she enjoys bold perfumes). I can’t pick up much of the lemony notes once it dries, just a bouquet of white flowers with a backdrop of musk that a wealthy, feminine lady might douse herself with. It’s not bad, it’s just not my taste at all.

Initially sharp but dries down to a yummy, musky citrus. Sexy and innocent at the same time. I have received a lot of compliments on this and people ask me what I’m wearing. It really works with my chemistry so I guess I could say it’s my signature scent.

I received this as a sample and when I did some detective work and found the description and review I had to laugh. “Erotic powder”, that’s exactly how it smells on me. I only get powder, nothing else. My boyfriend asked “What smells like laundry?” after I put it on. Not what I was going for.

When dried, Zephyr smells like erotic powder on my skin.
It’s so light though, I have to sniff my wrists to pick up any scent.
It is okay, but I don’t like it as much or better than my current favorites.
I could see this smelling amazing on the right person though!
