From the official website:
"The moon rises, illuminating a world of ancient splendours. An otherworldly scent of incense, flowers and precious woods drifts through the night; it is a hauntingly beautiful brush with nature’s infinite mysteries."
"SELENE is a perfumed tribute to the Ancient Greek Goddess of the Moon; a fragrant landscape painting of wild cypress forests, of mountains and islands of Ancient Greece."
"Don’t expect SELENE to be fashionably safe or modern. She is a hypnotically beautiful sonnet woven in potent plant-based aromatics that conjure wild landscapes traversed by foot, horses, donkeys, chariots and ships."
Selene fragrance notes
- Cypress, Mt Atlas Mastic, Copal Protium, cold-pressed Lemon, Lily, White Lotus, Black Spruce, Pink Pepper, Juniper Berry, Royal Green Hojary Frankincense (Oman), Styrax absolute, Olibanum (Boswellia Carterii), Scots Pine resin, Australian (Santalum Spicatum) and Indian Sandalwood (Santalum Album)
Latest Reviews of Selene
When Selene first lands on my skin, I imagine I am a beetle, hypnotically drawn to the aroma of ancient, oversized magnolias. It's just my instinct and the smell, all else drops away. It's wild and without polish, lemon-scented petals and green succulent needles, the ripeness of peculiar fruits, and slow-oozing exudate from trees that if they could speak, could impart a wisdom no human could bestow. It renders language limited, speaking the tongue of a landscape that appears only in an old parable.
I remember when I was in the second grade, and at the Scholastic book fair, there was a jigsaw map of the United States with pieces divided into states. I still remember when that was my entire world for the longest time, learning where to put, say, Montana or Georgia on the map. I even recall that Maryland and Delaware were clustered together, so was New England. Smelling Selene, bright with frankincense and soothing with sandalwood, had me recalling this simple, childhood, mesmerized state.
Praise be, the power of scent.
