TAURUS MYTH
Europa was the daughter of King Agenor of Phoenicia and Telephassa. Zeus became attracted to Europa, and plotted to seduce her.
Zeus appeared to Europa as a beautiful, white bull as she was out gathering flowers. She was taken by the bull’s beauty, began to pet it, and eventually climbed onto its back. Zeus (the bull) jumped into the water with Europa on his back and carried her across the sea to Crete, where he took the form of an eagle and ravished her.
Zeus recreated the white bull in the stars, which is now known as the constellation Taurus.
TAURUS FRAGRANCE
Taurus from Demeter smells like smooth, rich woods. There is a slight aromatic sharpness from cedar, along with a creamy, balsamic guaiac. A hint of lemon brightens the fragrance, and a base of warm musk grounds it.
A woody musk is a great fragrance for Taurus, who is down-to-earth but enjoys sensual pleasures. Some similar fragrances would be Max Mara Gold Touch for women, Bvlgari Pour Homme for men, and Clean Cashmere by Clean for both.
Taurus is available in a 50mL EdT spray for $34.00, or a roll-on perfume oil at demeterfragrance.com.
