Dare I to introduce this account with the Homeric words Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero[ine] who travelled far and wide in the attempt to find the perfect opening? Perhaps.

Or not, depending on the aetherial winds that do blow in with the light of day. Cruel Apollo, how did you become the patron of the arts? Your bright rays shine harshly, brightly on all, driving the delicate and fleeting thoughts of night into the shadows. Better Artemis to be the gentle patroness of these letters.

Which is what this account shall be. Letters written and set adrift on the arcane electric seas of the computer realm. Dear...

But to whom shall they be written? Myself, lovers, potential lovers, or just to the muses? For those curious eyes that wander the electric seas and find themselves touching briefly upon these shores? For all of the above. Yes for all of those I would whisper to on the wind, in the sound of the sea, in the moonlight, from the sun dancing on wave top...
 Talk to me.

Zorya The Midnight Star: Spices of the Orient mingle with crystalline musk, midnight flowers and cereus, jasmine, primrose and vesper iris.

Initial sniff from bottle - Fresh limes and a sea-tang to it that I suspect is the cereus. Very little jasmine or musk.

Wet on skin - still a lingering smell that reminds me of limes, but drying down to smell a bit more floral. Hints of the musk and jasmine beginning to come through.

Dry on skin - more floral now. The iris and primrose are more evident than jasmine, which is subdued and all the more appreciated than if it dominated. Occasional lime and tang that I would swear is the cereus.

Staying Power & Throw - good. It's not a scent that will mug others in the room, but it is pleasantly noticeable. It also lingers nicely into the 8+ hour mark but fades rapidly after that.

Overall Opinion - Good. I'm glad I got the imp with my order, as I doubt I would have tried it on my own. I'll be ordering the other complimentary scents in the trio as imps to try. So far, this one would go on the list as a scent for summer nights.

Collection: Excolo.
