ATH005 EAU DE PARFUM

//

[Athena]

A fragrant expression of Athena, the strategist Goddess of the flashing eyes.

The accord pays homage to the graceful, grey-eyed Goddess of wisdom, which at its heart, takes the form of a soft, papery vanilla musk - reminiscent of parchment and pages from a well-worn book.

The addition of olive leaf threads fine green trace through the accord but also serves as a nod to Athena's fabled gift to the people of Athens [which as you will remember played a vital role in the myth (see: [SHOWDOWN] by THEMATIKOS)].

The combination of these notes with the accord's anchor of white woods and silken musk, settles the fragrance into a clean and beautifully warm skin scent - serene but commanding - in the spirit of Athena herself.
