White pear and absinthe, sea moss and patchouli, labdanum and crushed coral.
My limbs are wasted with a flame,
My feet are sore with traveling,
For, calling on my Lady’s name,
My lips have now forgot to sing.
O Linnet in the wild-rose brake
Strain for my Love thy melody,
O Lark sing louder for love’s sake,
My gentle Lady passeth by.
She is too fair for any man
To see or hold his heart’s delight,
Fairer than Queen or courtesan
Or moonlit water in the night.
Her hair is bound with myrtle leaves,
(Green leaves upon her golden hair!)
Green grasses through the yellow sheaves
Of autumn corn are not more fair.
Her little lips, more made to kiss
Than to cry bitterly for pain,
Are tremulous as brook-water is,
Or roses after evening rain.
Her neck is like white melilote
Flushing for pleasure of the sun,
The throbbing of the linnet’s throat
Is not so sweet to look upon.
As a pomegranate, cut in twain,
White-seeded, is her crimson mouth,
Her cheeks are as the fading stain
Where the peach reddens to the south.
O twining hands! O delicate
White body made for love and pain!
O House of love! O desolate
Pale flower beaten by the rain!
Soft, lush myrtle and dry, sweet melilot with wild rose, pomegranate juice and peach blossom against a background of deep aquatic notes and a twirl of melancholy autumn breezes.
True love renewed by night in an English garden: moonflower, Nottingham catchfly, Casablanca lily, evening primrose, night-blooming cereus, Queen of the Night, muted by the sepia tones of tonka, tobacco absolute, bourbon vanilla, and costus.
Foamy orris and ambergris accord pierced by a sliver of white fir needle, moonflower, and cypress.

Imagine you’re wearing your favourite Lip Smacker and chowing down on JuicyFruit gum. That’s Titania!
So sweet and JUICY. It’s a lovely fragrance, very ripe and fruity. With time, I noticed more of the pear/ice muskiness and a subtle floral. An intoxicating, sweet scent that stops short of being headache inducing.
Lasts very well on my skin, too!

This is nice, on me it starts out very bright and young, I smell the grape and sweet pea the most strongly, my partner said it smelled like Starburst candies. As it dried down it became more floral and sweet. Almost powdery. It seems to be long-lasting. It might be a little soapy on me and maybe a bit too sweet for my personal tastes but I’m sure if you like sweet fruity florals this one would be perfect.

This is a very sweet scent that, for me, has the perfect balance of fruity & floral. In the IMO it’s definitely fruit forward but as it dries on my skin, the fruit backs off and blends well with the florals for a very sweet, creamy scent. This is very playful & flirty and would make a great fragrance for a first date!

This is such a yummy fruity floral scent, if I could swim in a big old vat of this stuff I would.

Sweet pea from Bath and Body Works. Fruity floral, bright, and happy. Pretty, but doesn’t stand out to me.
Where I’d wear it: The school dance.

This is my favorite scent out of the ones I’ve tried (5? 6?). I wear it every day. It’s very sweet and fruity without being too heavy. On me it lasts all day. I love the smell of the grapes and pear…I didn’t really smell peach though.

This one is pretty great. It’s very soft and fruity. I’m not sure if I’ll get a full 5ml bottle or not. But, it’s better than I thought it would be.

I am going to be buying this one again! It is sweet and cool, a rare treat from BPAL. I’m not sure if I like this better wet or dry since both are so nice. The pear, peach and grape keep this really light, while the snapdragon and sweet pea ground the sweetness in a light floral bed. The musk makes this bed a little more apparent when it dries. I was pleased to find the fruit sweetness lasting even when dry!

If you’re like me and you love fruity florals, this is your fragrance! The first thing I smelled when I first opened the bottle was pears, but it turns more floral as it dries. A really lovely, sweet fragrance. Will definitely be purchasing more as this has become my favorite BPAL scent right up there with The Witch Queen.
