The Legend: Aphelia is the personification of simplicity. The Greeks often gave life to qualities that they were attempting to understand, or wished to glory through poetic expression. The simplest answer is most always the best (Occum’s Razor) and how thinking too much can actually cloud the solution is something we all need to remember. The more we attempt to dissect and analyze something, the more chance we have of missing its intrinsic beauty.
The Fragrance: Composed of roses, the sacred flower of Aphrodite (goddess of love) but not defined solely by them, this scent showcases all the beauty and evolution of a rose, as it evolves subtly and slowly. From its first bursting buds on the vine: woody, ever-so-slightly spicy and green with delightful fruity nuances, to its full fragrant many petaled blossoms: rich and luxurious, accented with green woody balsamic notes. A rose in the country, a rose in the wild; this dries to something almost yet not quite oriental, with supporting notes of smooth sheer vanilla, iris root and ambergris. A floral creation that exalts the beauty of a single flower with complimentary notes that bring its richness to the fore and enhance it without overpowering or diluting it. A scent for those who like to stop and smell the roses.
