Rambling wild roses, a touch of lemon verbena, white pearl tea leaves, delicate white patchouli, and a springtime rebirth of new greens and wet mosses...
"The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told;
I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart,
With the earth and the sky and the water, re-made, like a casket of gold
For my dreams of your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart."
— W.B. Yeats
Art: Spring by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1894

Yes I think Laura W is accurate in describing this as a timeless scent. This has an old world, old town sort of vibe, like walking by an old house with roses blooming, more true to... view more life atmosphere than perfume, yet perfectly wearable today or 2 thousand years ago. It has an elegance and sophistication to it without smelling like grandma perfume or rose soap (nothing wrong with those of course). I don't get headache triggers either, given the notes this has a surprising lightness. I would not have guessed there was patchouli in this at all, it doesn't have that dark oomph to it, but more of an ever so subtle spice. Also lemon verbena I couldn't detect on it's own, but it blends with the greens to smell more grass + light citrus zest than fresh herb or lemon verbena hand soap. This is very much a soft, rose cousin to Green Carnation with less spice, so if you love that one, give this a try. Also for fans of Anais Anais by Cacherel and Haus ov Phaedra's Mourning Veil. Perfect for a rainy spring or autumn day. view less

This is my absolute favorite scent--I wear others occasionally for a change, but this is my everyday go-to. I'm an avid gardener, and so quite picky about florals, but when I wear ... view moreit the rose note really smells like a rose. The patchouli comes through smelling a little powdery and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so because the lemon verbena and greens counter it. It strikes me as a very timeless scent, and one I especially love because I can get headachy with some fragrances, but never with this one. I definitely recommend giving it a try! view less
