Alkemia Perfumes alkemia.etsy.com/ -This fragrance I am about to introduce has become something I find myself seeking out if I want to be pampered and perhaps escape reality for a time (joining the elite pantheon with CAVEAU DES INNOCENTS and LA BELLE ÉPOQUE- two other entrancing master works by Alkemia). The notes that combine in this heady perfume are ones that I honestly could just lose myself in the transporting quality of. It's aptly named as it is so intoxicating, (no, there is no actual alcohol content in the notes) it is just olfactory ambrosia that acts as a balm for stormy moods and I have become a devotee to this. Too good to not share and deserves a special label of FEATURED/TREASURED. Brava Alkemia! BACCHANTE- Listed Notes: (Blueberries, Oakmoss, Wild Ivy, Lavender, Tonka, and Forest Fungi) Combined Thoughts: BACCHANTE by Alkemia Perfumes is an olfactory masterpiece! It’s a perfect mysterious summer blend that surprises how much it can tickle the senses conjuring a lush jovial scene leaving you feeling regal but benevolent and finally above all has you begging to come back for more. True magic on my skin and I absolutely love everything about this heady perfume and won’t be found without it on my vanity dresser. Ladies if any description of scents or something happens to catch your eye in Alkemia’s extensive library of fragrances try it with a sample. Don’t be afraid to explore unfamiliar notes or fight the temptation to learn something about yourself. We all deserve a little something special and Alkemia knows exactly how to treat you right. What I was hoping for: When I picked this sample, I was looking for a scent for summer and the lavender note listed caught my full attention but I was still weary after years of the commercial scene with perfumes that I tended to shy away from notes that I thought would smell one way and disappoint (blueberry was one such note that never smelled real to me within any mass marketed selection). This was one of my first experiments with scent that I'm ashamed to say I didn't expect much from. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: In the vial: FRESH PICKED BLUEBERRIES and EARTH, you can't help but inhale. It's sublime! The effect is like smelling a bunch of hyacinths or lilacs for the first time (I even double checked to see if hyacinths were listed because it's almost floral) Applied: This is otherworldly and transports you to an indulgent level of realisation. It's amazing and something I never want to be without. I can't believe something like this exists...(*many minutes later of just closing my eyes and waxing poetic, I came back) I don't get the individual notes exactly it's just a harmonious union of season, emotion and imagination. Words that come to mind: transporting, heady, Woodland Goddess, lush, late spring to early fall, treasure *I purchased a full size of this and was surprised the effect was amplified within the bottle and it only got better within the months I forced myself to let allow it to age. Months later and it's still exquisite in every way as the notes come together and with my chemistry the earth element is slightly more detectable now (the other night I caught the underlying forest vegetation and I must comment that this unexpected favorite lasts on me for 12+ hours). The lavender that initially beckoned me to this perfume is there but blends beautifully with the blueberry. Please Alkemia never stop making this! alkemia.etsy.com Comments are closed.
