Beautiful, beautiful fragrance... sadly discontinued!
Pyxis by Scents of Time is inspired by the Roman city of Pompeii, and the celebration of life that the city had to offer, before it was cut down by the fires of Vesuvius in 79 B.C.

The genre here is (to me) some kind of floral chypre with hints of fruit. Even though Scents of Time have officially labelled this one as a "floral oriental". It is a chypre. It's also a success in my opinion! Why something like this would be discontinued I have no idea! It's a beautiful soft floral with oakmoss and some depth, in fact more depth than a lot of designer perfumes out there. I detect a hint of the "Mitsouko" vibe, with the peach, oakmoss and rose combination. It's very nice.

Pyxis is a very beautiful and I would say elegant perfume, I like it very much and really wish it was still in production. But like many things in life, some things just weren't meant to be. I know I will cherish the bottle I have. I do know of a website in Hawaii that still sells and ships this stuff, but they are old stock, and no longer being made. R.I.P!
