Endymion by Penhaligon's: Created in 2003. The romantic, aromatic partner to Artemisia. Endymion in ancient myth was a mortal who was so loved by the Goddess of the Moon that she put him to sleep forever so she alone could visit him every night.

A sexy, modern fusion of citrus, spices and leather. Endymion opens with a burst of sweetened mandarin wrapped gently in sage and lavender, this settles and smoothes gently into a dark coffee heart. As the skin warms up, mysterious resins rise up with hints of creamy nutmeg and cardamom, all wrapped in the softest leather.

Spicy and fresh, it is a fragrance of contrast. Light and dark. Sweet and sharp. But above all, sensual, like walking in a moonlit garden thinking thoughts of velvet seduction.
