ralenth Report post Posted June 17, 2010 Florentine iris, frankincense, violet, ylang ylang, amber, and orchid. At first, Epistrophia is like a fruitier version of the GC Belle Epoque. Unfortunately, after thirty minutes it morphs into candied violets crushed into baby powder. It's definitely not for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OctoberGwen Report post Posted January 17, 2012 I love this; a soft purple floral, very sophisticated. The frank and amber give it just the perfect bit of roundness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VetchVesper Report post Posted September 4, 2017 Herm. Got this off Etsy. It's a dusty floral that reminds me of other floral blends in the Ars Moriendi line. It's pretty and soft and feminine, but really just not me. I swear I smell lily, but maybe that's just the orchid. I get a hint of dusty violet. No soapiness or baby powder, so that's good. The resins aren't obvious to me, but probably add some of the depth and warmth I'm getting. I do get a purple vibe. Still not to my tastes though. Off to the swaps!
