by Alkemia Perfumes
Bacchante Alkemia presents a vivid, green-tinged spring fragrance shaped by juicy blueberry, cool ivy, and damp moss. It unfolds like a stroll through a dew-kissed forest after rain — bright, fresh, and subtly sweet with tonka and oakmoss. The blueberry note is immediate and expressive, though fleeting, giving way to a deeper, earthy aura of moss, mushroom, and woody roots. Many find the scent refreshing and tangible, with its core of greenery and moisture making it ideal for daytime wear in spring and summer. While some wearers report a short longevity of around 3–6 hours, the scent is typically noted for its delicate sillage and intimate presence rather than bold projection. Within this delicate balance, the perfume receives strong approval for its uniqueness and wearability. It stands out among green fragrances not by leaning into soapy or artificial notes, but by integrating a more organic texture — like crushed ivy, wild blueberries, and forest floor — giving it a sense of authenticity and quiet charm. The scent fares better in sprays than in oil formats for some, possibly due to spray viscosity or delivery method, and falls off the skin quickly after 4–6 hours, which may disappoint those seeking endurance. Its perception as fruited varies: it is not overly sweet, and plenty wear it even if they avoid fruit scents.
