doomsday_disco Report post Posted March 28 Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall. Bittersweet pink grapefruit, golden peach, lime rind, and amber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trickyfox Report post Posted May 6 An amazing grapefruit scent! Perfectly balanced sweet and bitter grapefruit with just enough peach in the background to keep it balanced. Longevity isn’t great, the grapefruit fades faster than the peach for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted May 29 More grapefruit in the decant, but very peachy on my skin initially. Super juicy. It settles into a gorgeous sun drenched peach-amber base, brightened by the zest of grapefruit and lime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leptonpyr Report post Posted August 19 Sadly this one didn't really work on me. When it first went on it was a really yummy blend of peach and grapefruit with maybe a tiny hint of lime, but all the citrus quickly disappeared and left only a strange peachiness. I say "strange" because it smelled more like gummy peach candy than actual peach, which is a yummy smell for candy, but not something I think I actually want to smell like. It disappeared VERY quickly, and by the end of the day I just smelled like I had never put perfume on at all. Amber never showed up for me. More sorrow than joy then, I guess.
