A gentlemen’s blend, possessed of dignity, charm and refinement, but in truth masking a corrupted, hideous, soulless core. White musk, lime, lilac and citron.
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.
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.
A gentle, soothing blend of cherry blossom, white sandalwood and star anise.

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.
