African Flowers...
By chance, I stumbled upon this previously unknown fragrance from LaVolta. The ingredients in the pyramid sounded very promising to me, which piqued my curiosity. So I managed to get a sample, which immediately convinced me to my delight.
My nose cannot pick out all the fine elements that make up this composition individually. I can't even detect the peach that I love so much, as the scent is a very harmonious and balanced whole. Even though it is called African Flowers, it doesn't smell African to me (what is that supposed to smell like?), but rather floral-oriental. That probably describes it best. It is different from all the other fragrances I have smelled so far, and that makes it truly appealing and interesting to me.
It is probably the enchanting orange blossom that impresses me strongly right from the start and takes over the fragrance, as I enjoy it in perfumes. African Flowers smells right from the beginning like a power scent from the 80s or 90s. It is anything but shy: It packs a punch! Just that makes it something special, as the mainstream is by no means catered to here, which I find very commendable, considering the sea of similarly sweet fruit salad scents that has nearly overwhelmed us for many years.
African Flowers is excellent for autumn and winter, as it is opulent, heavy, warm, and spicy. Additionally, it also reminds me a bit of almonds and marzipan, giving it a seductive yet subtle gourmand note. Nevertheless, it is not overly sweet, but rather a serious, dark, mature women's fragrance that suits established, chic women well. It is not cuddly and delicious, nor is it girlish or sweet. African Flowers is a statement fragrance that stands out and must be worn with confidence. Men who also enjoy women's fragrances might find African Flowers quite appealing.
In the base note, I think I can perceive patchouli, but the subtle addition of vanilla rounds everything off in a friendly and pleasant way.
Why it is called African Flowers remains a mystery to me; perhaps it is meant to suggest wanderlust, exoticism, and a desire to travel. But ultimately, it doesn't matter - the fragrance speaks for itself. Its longevity and projection are also excellent for an Eau de Parfum. The price is absolutely affordable.
