Theseus and the Minotaur
by Spyros Drosopoulos

Theseus’ defeat of the minotaur in the labyrinth at Crete was a central story in Greek mythology. The myth details the heroic journey of Theseus, in opposition to the animalic desperation of the minotaur, trapped in his underground labyrinth. (Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete)  

Artist Statement
Let's face it, the meeting between Theseus and the Minotaur must not have been a pretty one. Imagine how the Labyrinth must have smelled. A dead place, dark and claustrophobic, where no one ever came out alive and housing a beast. I chose to make this perfume as vile as my ingredients allowed me too, the smell of decay with a bit of an Alpha man masculinity thrown in. I'd like to say "enjoy", but I don't think you will.
