annemathematics Report post Posted October 8, 2018 Oracle and healer, the Titaness Dione was once one of Zeus’ consorts. Her scent is dove black labdanum shining with opalescent lavender and poplar bud. I love lavender! I love labdanum! with a scent based upon two beloved notes, what could go wrong??? the answer is not a dang thing. dione is as good as I'd hoped when I added her to my basket. this is a gorgeous combo of ooomphy lavender and dark syrupy labdanum. they are hanging out side by side as opposed to getting lost as a blend. I'm not sure I'm smelling anything that I would identify as poplar bud, but initially I did get a fleeting waft of something slightly grassy/earthy. sillage is good but I'm greedily hoping that it increases a bit with some aging.

doomsday_disco Report post Posted November 17, 2018 annemathematics hit the nail on the head. This is indeed a dark, syrupy labdanum, and the lavender manages to keep in step with it for a while. I am not familiar with poplar bud, so I cannot comment on that note. Although the lavender is present throughout wear, the labdanum ends up being the main player on my skin, and this variety is a little too dark for me. But if you love those two notes, you will not be disappointed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted January 17, 2019 Dark syrupy labdanum with a whiff of lavender. It's a dark, rooty, cola with some lavender whafting on top. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deceitfuldescender Report post Posted April 19, 2019 This opens with a strong herbal lavender- but quickly becomes almost cola like labdanum with only a hint of lavender. My skin eats this fast, but it is. A pleasant scent, and taught me what labdanum smells like. Undecided if to keep or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
