A famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem about the Acadia Cajun beauty Evangeline Bellefontaine and her lover Gabriel Lajeunesse. Tragic but romantic figures who are separated by bitter circumstances, they spend their lives searching for one another always just missing being reunited. Evangeline becomes a nun ministering to the poor and ill this is where one days, many years later, she finds her beloved Gabriel.....broken and sick by an epidemic, her lover dies in her arms as she weeps for him and their lost love.
The scent: Sweet Southern blooms of magnolia, wysteria, Cape Jessamine, and gardenia underneath a blanket of church incense, a forgotten bridal bouquet, Bayou woods of oak, and cypress, crushed grasses and virginal white cotton and lace.
