Daphne Comme des Garçons 2009

Daphne has a kind of retro feeling interestingly updated by the inclusion of oud in the base notes. It is all about tuberose and incense but while at the beginning the bitter orange note create a very nice and special medicinal effect, the middle development of the scent becomes more spicy and introduces the rest of flowers with the vintage effect ( I feel the iris+ rose powdery soft explosion) and as the result of their combination with the woody notes which predominate in my skin over amber and vanilla, there to keep it warm. The final stage is a warm dark incensed but paradoxically still bright orange woody tuberose which stays close to skin in a marvelous way.

Sillage is very good during the first hour, later as I mentioned becomes almost a skin scent. Unfortunately it isn't very long lasting on me but good and interesting enough to deserve its position in my wardrobe. Ordered, now waiting for it.

Not a daily scent, an evening and night out one I'll say.

If you are tuberose hunter this is a must try. Please do so on your skin. This one definitely needs to be warmed up by body to enjoy all its stages.
