Frangipani Ahsan

Then you write a long comment, always beautifully circling around the actual scent, a spiral comment, so to speak.
So I wrote an ode to the EdP "Frangipani" by Ahsahn. For example, about the company Ahsan.
But everything you want to know about Ahsan can be read on their homepage.
My intention at that time was to have a monofloral, as authentic as possible Frangipani perfume. Less to wear it, but to use it as a reference scent when testing a perfume in which this floral note would be listed.
All the users here who know Frangipani as a real flower from the trees in the regions where it grows and blooms rave about its delicate, uniquely beautiful scent.
But in every perfume that listed Frangipani, it said almost nothing to me, because at least for me, it smelled like Tuberose, Gardenia, or Tiaré, or like a mixture of everything. Possibly also like Ylang-Ylang.
I am now also raving about the scent of real Frangipani flowers.
Because I was recently in Crete. As soon as we got off the bus and walked to the hotel, I saw and smelled at least 3 to 4 meter high bushy trees with plenty of Frangipani flowers, and there were also many flowers on the ground.
Everywhere in the town, Frangipani trees grow, as I was able to ascertain in the following days.
On the spot, I picked up flowers and smelled them. Wonderful, indescribable, such a beautiful, delicate, and sweet floral scent with a very fine hint of citrus.
Normally, I find the scent of white flowers unpleasant when I smell directly at the flowers.
But the Frangipani smelled only beautiful. I put a flower in my hairpin and then we entered the hotel reception, where it smelled extremely of oppressive, unpleasant white flowers.
We had to wait a bit, and I identified the source of this smell in a bowl, in which many Frangipani flowers were densely packed, which also did not look very fresh anymore.
Frangipani flowers look enchanting and flawless in their very simple form with their dazzling white petals, slightly overlapping bright lemon yellow in the center. One could almost mistake them for wax flowers.
In front of our balcony, a Frangipani tree also grew as a privacy screen, and it smelled wonderful even in the rooms.
The next day, I took two fresh flowers from the balcony railing and let them float in a glass on the table. They stood there, delicately and sweetly fragrant, for almost a week.
Upon returning home, I first sprayed "Frangipani" by Ahsahn.
And now I found that this perfume really smells like Frangipani.
According to Ahsan, the scents are traditionally produced, Attars and perfumes with alcohol.
Every floral scent changes when the flowers are processed into a fragrance or tea, regardless of the method used. The very modern methods only capture certain molecules and enrich the scents with additives that are supposed to make the scent as natural as possible. But also more durable and so concentrated or diluted that it smells nice as a perfume. This then depends on the art of the perfumers, how well that succeeds.
The desired scent molecules are also synthetically recreated, depending on the case.
I believe that perfumers or even laboratories still have more to work on and experiment with the scent of Frangipani flowers, especially in floral blends.
I have not yet smelled a perfume with Frangipani in which I could recognize this floral scent.
"Frangipani" by Ahsahn initially smells very strongly exactly like the bowl with the flowers in the hotel reception.
Very quickly, within a few minutes, this dominant indolic note recedes. A dense, very strong Frangipani scent remains, sweet, heavy, and also changed. The delicacy, the lightness, and the subtle citrus note are missing.
But it is neither Tuberose nor Gardenia that I smell. It truly smells like real Frangipani, very concentrated and a bit hay-like. Because of this, the sweetness of the real flowers is not perceivable over a long period.
Since my return, I have already applied "Frangipani" by Ahsahn several times. But I couldn't evoke the scent here each time.
This was rewarded by the scent slowly fading and gradually becoming almost like the lovely, delicate scent of the real flowers, just like now. At some point, I also smell the hint of a citrus note that takes the density away from "Frangipani" by Ahsahn.
A few days ago, I called up the scent here to read the comment and to supplement my notes and found a meaningless long comment from me.
I had only written it because no comment had been edited here yet.
After all, I had identified the specific scent of Frangipani, which does indeed differ from the other aforementioned scents. And rated the scent well.
It is amazing that after being able to perceive the real Frangipani scent for 14 days, I no longer perceive Ahsan's Frangipani scent as deodorant stone-like at the beginning, but find it authentically right away.
However, as a perfume, I will not wear "Frangipani" by Ahsahn; it is too strong, too dense, too heavy-floral, in this case, deriving the "floral" from "flower." It also has a long-lasting quality.
However, it smells and continues to smell here in the room as beautifully as the flowers on the balcony and in the rooms did on vacation. The sillage is therefore strong.
So as a room and reference scent, I like "Frangipani" by Ahsahn, and I will especially enjoy it in winter. And the moderate price for a 30 ml bottle was no risk.
