The closest I could find was Maenad..

In my new Brides locket, I'm using a sample of "Spring Harvest" from the Burren Perfumery in Ireland.

It smells very faint in my decant, but so lovely, and just like "virgin" snow.

I've only worn this a couple of times since I bought a bottle at Bat's Day. Today it smelled weird on me; faintly nutty. After reading some of the other reviews, I realize the ginger might not be working with my skin chemistry.

Cool and green. Dense, quiet forests, mosses and lichens. Serenity. Amazingly evocative.

I am frequently amazed at Beth's ability to create fragrances that evoke such feelings. In 40+ years of wearing perfume, I never encountered this until I discovered BPAL. The depth and diversity of her creations is astonishing.

I got this as a frimp last week. It's the sort of scent I'd probably never order, since I'm not one for foody or sweet scents. But...this is really nice. It smells sweet, but in a deep, rich, womanly way. A skin scent, and very sexy.

Upon application, I got a big burst of lovely honey. That lasted for just a couple of moments, and then...gone. Nothing. My skin eats oils--especially lighter scents--but Eve get the prize for fastest fade. To the swap pile.

Rich, deep, sexy...this is a scent for dark winter nights with the one you love [or lust after.]
