“Here, Earth-born, over the lilt of the water,
Lisping its music and bearing a burden of light,
Bosoming day as a laughing and radiant daughter…
Here we may whisper unheard, unafraid of the night.
Walking alone…was it splendor, or what, we were bound with?
Deep in the time when summer lets down her hair?
Shadows we loved and the patterns they covered the ground with
Tapestries, mystical, faint in the breathless air.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
Etsy - "I believe I found my all time favorite scent from Alkemia, replacing Elixir of Aphrodite. This perfume is SLEPT ON, OVERLOOKED, and TAKEN FOR GRANTED. It’s such a beautiful, sweet scent with a grounding earthiness. I can’t explain it. I feel like candy but not at all juvenile. I hope they never stop selling this because I will riot and stop wearing perfumes as a whole."
