Epona
The subtle strength and majesty of leather, the sweet dance of hay on the summer’s eve; and overarching these, the compelling velvet heat of horse hide.
Epona, a tribute to the Celtic goddess of horses, captures the essence of equine potency and pastoral tranquillity. The delicate floral touches of violet dance in ebbing sunbeams, while distinct saddle soap accord brings a vibrancy that springs forth from balmy air. Gods and Goddesses streak luminous resin fingerprints on sun-drenched saddles; thundering hooves softened with honey. Verdant grass tumbles and sears in August’s gilded sun. Colt strands stream in summer’s soft tempest. And you breathe again, with leather, heat, meadows and skin.
Epona embodies the cherished memories of the perfumer Liz’s bond with her beloved horse amidst the beautiful English countryside. Inspired by their intimate connection, it captures the essence of long summer days, a warm leather saddle, and the sweet meadow breath of her horse.
The fragrance intertwines notes of leather, opoponax, labdanum and vetiver to evoke the rich scent of a well-worn saddle and the sensual aroma of a horse’s coat. With a subtle hint of saddle soap accord, reminiscent of the tender care lavished upon a faithful companion. Epona is a nostalgic ode to the timeless bond between horse and rider held in nature’s embrace.
Liz has placed her own leather accord and distinctive horse accord against honey, oakmoss and petitgrain for a complex and stirring capturing of horse skin, leather, and summer meadows.
