How light the strain when, decked in vernal bloom,
Thalia tuned her lyre of melody.
Thaleia the Flourishing is the Muse of Comedy and Pastoral Poetry, and shares the same name as one of the Gratiæ. She is a very down-to-Earth Goddess, and has a special fondness for rural folk. She wears a crown of ivy leaves and carries the Mask of Comedy and a shepherd’s crook. The Blooming One is the Goddess of Comedians and inspires creativity in wit and the joy and release we have in laughter. A vivacious, dazzling, merry scent: honey, ylang ylang, apricot, ciste, blood orange and gardenia with earthy, warm tonka.
In imp: I'm getting mostly ylang-ylang, citrus and apricot.
On me (wet): Sweet, fruity scent.
On me (dry): ...which my skin abruptly eats up. Alas poor Thaleia. I barely knew her, Horatio.
Verdict: As with Skuld, I'm left with nothing but ylang-ylang. Ok, I lie. A little came back, but I can barely smell it, unless I sniff my wrist directly.
