Harvest Moon 2004 (A Little Lunacy)
The autumnal blooms of clematis, chrysanthemum, narcissus, sunflower, sage and lily twined with Dionysus' sacred grapes and ivy, a bounty of apple, pumpkin, and ripe berries, and the amaranth and lingum aloes of Janus, all touched by a gentle breath of festival woodsmoke and sweet wine.

In the imp - Smells kind of like Queen Alice did in the imp, sharp/sweet/overpowering.
Wet - Still sweet but less sharp. Grape juice, faint flowers, maybe berries and applesauce.
Dry - Berries and dry wine, faint hint of pumpkin and what might be the narcissus.
Later - Dry wine with wisps of berry, pumpkin, and something flowery.


La Belle Dame Sans Merci (Bewitching Brews)
A bewitching, seductive scent, rife with mystery and foreboding.

In the imp - Sharp smell of flowers, with something sweet in the background.
Wet - FLOWERS, a bit familiar like lilac or lily of the valley, definitely a sweet kind of flower. There's a faint hint of something like wet leaves, a warm, autumn kind of smell.
Dry - Warm and slightly herbal, with the sweet flower smell far in the background now. Like sitting in a meadow on a sunny fall day.
Later - A strange but not unpleasant combination of herbs and resin, green and warm. Something about it reminds me of burning candles. It's lovely and not too strong; I keep smelling my wrists and smiling.
