The Great Work Alchemists believed that nothing could be transformed until it first surrendered its former shape. What appeared to be the making of gold was, in truth, the making of the soul. These three fragrances follow that ancient path: dissolution, transformation, and rebirth. They are not meant to be understood all at once, but discovered one stage at a time. After dissolution comes darkness. After darkness, illumination. Chrysopoeia is the culmination, the goldening of the Great Work—the moment base metal becomes gold, where the soul recognizes itself in the transformation. The alchemists understood that true gold could not be mined or purchased. It could only be it's truest self through patience, devotion and courage. Chrysopoeia is ethereal, it is bright and it is worth waiting for. Notes - ylang ylang, rose, vanilla, orange blossom, cucumber, santal, lemon and water. *Available in 2ml(EDP spray), 5ml(EDP spray), 30ml(EDP spray) bottles as well as 3ml(oil roll on).
