Thoos

In 2010 BPAL had 'Ode to Mars' as one of the Lupercalia themes. Thoos is one of the Epithets of Ares who is the Greek origin of Mars. Ares had many epithets some of which served as inspiration for that year's Lupercalia scents. Others scents were named after Thouros, Khrysopelex,  Aatos polemoio, Rhinotoros, Miaiphonos, Enkhesphalos, Brotoloigos, Enyalios and Khalkorustus. While Thoos means swift, fleet, most of the epithets have more violent meanings. After all, this was/is the God of War!


The scent is further described as: 

Tangerine, cypress and white musk.

The tangerine is only distinguishable in the very first stage. I don't know if this is a matter of age, it may have been like this from the beginning. Citruses are indeed fleeting. What is left is cypress softened by white musk. It is a pleasant scent, one would not suspect a warrior when smelling it.
