A reformulation and modernization of a true Classical Greek perfume, myrrhine: voluptuous myrrh, golden honey, red wine, and sweet flowers.
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o’er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
“Shadow,” said he,
“Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?”
“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied
“If you seek for Eldorado!”
Copal resin incense blowing through halls of dazzling gold.
A rich, bold blend of imperial rose, carnation, lush jasmine, lily of the valley, dark musk, amber, bergamot and gilded tangerine.
A city of mystery, wonder and majesty, said to have been built by order of Gilgamesh. Thick bitter almond and heady night-blooming jasmine with saffron, cinnamon leaf, red patchouli, river lilies, bergamot, fig leaf and the sacred incense of Inanna.

I ordered an imp of this on a whim. In the bottle it smells like a very green violet, I was hoping for a bit more of a sugary violet but certainly don’t mind the green. Unfortunately on my skin it turns into pure clove and nothing else comes through. It must be something with my chemistry because I have the same problem with Port Au Prince. Very different scents in bottle. On my skin they smell exactly the same. Oh well :/

I go this little guy as an imp with a previous order. When it first goes on it’s bright and warm. I don’t really know what violet smells like but I definitely am hit with the clove and tonka bean. I would have given it 5 stars. This is not a scent I would normally turn to but I gave it a shot knowing you can never tell until you try it with your own chemistry. I was pleasantly surprised by it’s long wear and how calm it gets after a few hours. It’s like, I like it and it works well with my body but I don’t know why. The tonka bean and clove seem to linger with me the longest.

This is one of my favorite BPAL scents ever! I really like violets, and Sybaris does not disappoint. The scent is a bit heavier on the violet and tonka. To me this overall declares itself to be a sweet, slightly caramel-sugary violet sugar type scent. I do detect a touch of spiciness with the clove and incense, although the dominant spice is clove. The scent dries down to a multidimensional, deeper violet scent, but is still primarily a floral at heart. I do reach for this as a comfort scent and recommend this highly for anyone curious about violet petals.
