TITANIA
Titania, Queen of the fairies married to Oberon, King of the fairies is a very proud creature that is always surrounded by her fairies who sing sweet lullabies while she falls to sleep.
Titania is a loving person who hasn’t experienced the horrors of life in respect to be dealt with wrongly. She has her fairies there to protect her from the unpleasantness of life such as snakes, spiders and beetles.
The fairies could not protect Titania for what is about to happen. No one figured the fact that jealously by her husband would become a major issue. He was jealous of Titania's relationship with the Indian Boy. It was only a friendship, so why would Oberon secretly be that angry with Titania for such an innocent reason. Shakespeare's version did not answer this question, so I can only come to my own conclusions.
Well, this issue for Oberon was bigger than it seem so therefore he had to do something about it. The fairies do not have powers over the King, so while Titania was sleeping, Oberon’s servant, Puck used the flower, “love-in-idleness” and placed the drippings of this flower onto Titana’s eyelids for her to wake up and be in love with the first thing she would see.
Oberon’s bet would be an animal in the forest but while Titania was sleeping, it was one of the most pleasant dreams of her life.
TITANIA is a compelling fragrance that literally takes you inside the woods while Titania is laying down fast asleep with the scent of roses and violets and chypre scented grass and trees hovering over her like a full bloom Rosewood tree.
Puck takes center stage again as he uses a flower to help him make the spell a success. He doesn't care about the results. He just does what he is told for the most part but there are those times he adds his own version of the story. This time Puck stayed on course and took the “love-in-idleness” to Titania's eyelids but according to faith, that was not strong enough.
Ankica took the spell on Titania and placed it carefully and completely with the surrounding in the forest so beautifully in a poetic form that keeps Titania's dreams pure and pleasant.
Titania, the perfume features rosewood, pink pepper, menthe peperita, tuberose, rose damascene absolute, Neroli, Iris, labdanum, violet leaf, orris butter, sandal album, angelica root, ambrette, oak moss and patchouli
Titania's light and delicate spirit was something Oberon could not destroy when she awaken to have fallen in love with Nick Bottom who had been given the head of a donkey.
Through this trial and tribulation, Titania weathered the storm and she could never let the love and joy of the Indian Boy go away even under a spell.
Titania, the perfume takes me through each chapter of Titania’s life with an elegant portrayal of love being tested by an evil-doer.
A walk through the woods doesn’t have to be a frightened experience, Ankica Milic’s version of Titania’s life through a fragrance so determined to give Titania the victory, is a spell I would not mind having cast on me.
