The goddess Circe sits on a throne, thin fabric failing to obscure her body. She offers a chalice of wine to Ulysses and his men.

A boar lays at her feet, an ominous portent to those who know this tale.

Deep purple violets in a hypnotic chypre of sueded dark leathers, aged patchouli, midnight-black amber, and a narcotic swirl of opium.

"And now—unwittingly, you've made me dream
Of violets, and my soul's forgotten gleam."

-- Alice Dunbar-Nelson

Art: Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses by John William Waterhouse,1891

Mmm Choward's violet candies!!

This is my first time wearing an Alkemia perfume and I am impressed at the quality. The smell is really different but also pleasant! To me, these smell like Choward's Violet Mints!! This perfume reminds me of a memory I have where my friend kept giving me these mints for my dry mouth at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia while we were looking at medical oddities together. It also reminds me of LouLou by Cacharel but a little less complex (which isn't a bad thing by the way!). It's such a shame that it's going to be retired soon as it is on sale. I think I'll have to snag a full spray bottle just so I can hoard some for later!!

I LOVE the Violet forward fragrance, and I also love the dry down! Such a gorgeous scent!!
