Red roses, blood-flecked lilies, upturned earth, yew branches, and blood mingled with river sand.

Initial sniff from bottle - Wet green. [No, it doesn't make logical sense, but it's what I got.]

Wet on skin - Sandy, aquatic, with a light floral smell. Begins to unfold as it dries down.

Dry on skin - There is still the lily and fresh aquatic, but the rose and earthiness really begin to appear as it dries more. Overall, there is a pleasant, earthy dampness that is complimented by the lily and rose florals.

Staying Power & Throw - Good. This is the kind of scent that I think it would be easy to overdo, and then it would be quite overpowering, but used sparingly on the pulse points, it's lovely.

Overall Opinion - It's very nice. While it isn't enough to make me want to go and buy another bottle, it is a good scent for the damp that is March.

2009 Collection: the Bards of Ireland.

Irish bards were members of a hereditary caste of learned poets. They were officials of the courts of their chieftains and kings, and served as historians, storytellers, and satirists. They were immersed in the rich history of their clan and country, and learned the intricacies of their craft from birth. Their words held so much power that it was believed that a glam dicing, or satirical incantation, spoken by a bard held the magic of a curse.

This series is celebration of great Irish poets and storytellers. Through these poems, we touch the glory, beauty, and grief that permeates the soul of Ireland.
