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.

I love this scent. It smells sweet, fresh, and clean. On my skin the almond and sandalwood are the most prominent portions.

This is a very strong sweet smell to me. Smells like I’m a walking honey bunches of oats ?

This smells exactly like chai tea. It’s a very pleasant, soothing scent. Alas, I am not a foodie, so it still is not for me. But for those of you who are I highly recommend this one.

A sweet almond scent while wet, a figgy coconut dry down.
Very delicate.

This is my winter scent, hands down. I receive many compliments on it, and I love applying it on chilly mornings. The sweetness of the fig and almost is very strong right out of the bottle, and stays as the prominent smells when applied. The coconut and sandalwood peeks through after it dries. It’s like a fig and coconut macaron dipped in almond milks, it’s intoxicating.

A very unusual gourmand. Eden smells like shredding green leaves in your hands and getting that green, crisp, sappy, sweet smell all over. That green note is at the center, surrounded by creamy coconut, sweet and milky fig, and a hint of honey. Very pretty.

I love this one. It’s sweet & slightly fruity with a touch of spice, I can also detect the almond and coconut. I can’t stop sniffing myself when I wear this one. I am near the end of my bottle & already ordered a replacement.

In the bottle, its toasted almonds. Really toasted. It dries down to a lovely incense and fig, but a dry fig. This a very dry, toasted scent. Bitter almond lingers behind the curtain. Personally, I would have preffered a juicier fig with smokey incense.

Eden is a pretty scent. I have worn it for three days now but I still can’t decide if I would buy a bottle of it.
It is really light and has almost no throw and I can’t smell it unless I’m actually sniffing my skin.
Overall I like it and will be keeping the imp.
I’ll let this one age and try it in the future.
