John Dee: master of science, alchemy and magic, Hermetic philosopher in the schools of Rosicrucian Christian Mysticism and Platonic-Pythagorean doctrine, and Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, advisor, cryptologist and spy. With Edward Kelly, he created a field of study and work in Angelic Evocation, and isolated the Angelic language: Enochian. His scent is soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods.
Though thy slumber may be deep,
Yet thy spirit shall not sleep;
There are shades which will not vanish,
There are thoughts thou canst not banish;
By a power to thee unknown,
Thou canst never be alone;
Thou art wrapt as with a shroud,
Thou art gather’d in a cloud;
And for ever shalt thou dwell
In the spirit of this spell.
A profound and entrancing potion. Deep, wispy, and unfathomably dark: vetiver, dark woods, crumbling and burnt black sandalwood and a drop of lemon rind.
The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal.
True, perfect golden light, refined into an incomparably glorious scent.

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!
