The Fulfiller Who Whispers Words of Wisdom

[Ina Garten Davita]

Jupiter's Bounty

This is a perfume of sagacity and good counsel, and the prudence and judiciousness that leads to good judgement. It is a scent of stability, prosperity, and sovereignty – but more specifically, the creation, fortification, and nurturing of a kingdom that you build for yourself through self-respect and sound choices, the ability to govern your impulses wisely, and utilizing generosity, compassion and kindness as a means of protecting and expanding your dominion.

This is a perfume dedicated to Jove.

 

I will sing of Zeus, chiefest among the gods and greatest, all-seeing, the lord of all, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom to Themis as she sits leaning towards him.

 

Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Cronos, most excellent and great!

Peru balsam essential oil (Myroxylon balsamum), steam-distilled terebinth essential oil (Pinus palustris), pulverized organic fig and chestnut, handcrafted vegetal musk, blue chamomile and Roman chamomile essential oils (Matricaria recutita and Anthemis nobilis), hyssop essential oil (Hyssopus officinalis), clary sage essential oil (Salvia sclarea), blue yarrow essential oil (Achillea millefolium), valerian essential oil (Valeriana sp.), wild-harvested pinon pine resin (Trementina), chamomile flowers (Matricaria recutita), sarsaparilla root (Smilax regelii), wild-harvested cedar berries (Juniperus monosperma), organically grown orange peel from the TAL garden, juniper berries (Juniperus communis), bayberry root bark (Morella cerifera), crushed oak galls, organic rosehips (Rosa canina and Rosa rubiginosa), locally wild-harvested white sage leaf and white oak bark (many thanks to the genius loci of Los Angeles), and dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale). Each bottle contains a piece of lapis that has been washed in whiskey.


Okay, so this smells like chestnuts, orange peel, sarsaparilla, chamomile, and a whole bunch of sage, and whiskey. It sort of golden, and homey, and full of bon homie. It's expansive, and fun, and in general all of the best parts of Jupiter's presence sans the ROCKSTAR/HEY BABY CAN I HIT THAT? 

In other words, this is more charm and less sleaze. The same way like a good looking suit on a guy does more than having him flex his pectoral muscles does to sell you on the whole package deal.
