Aptly chosen name
Absolutely stunning unisex floral perfume. Top 5 Floral compositions I have ever tried without a doubt. High-quality ingredients and impeccable blending from Laudamiel. Wearing this one feels like sitting in a greenhouse, a huge floral garden, or being in a hot and humid climate like in Southeast Asian countries, where you occasionally will smell these tropical florals like Champaca as the humidity and the heat allow the scent to permeate the air. There are some spices in the opening, a bit of a leathery touch from the Safforn, and then the big, lush floral bouquet hits you. Very difficult to separate the floral notes, as they truly come together as a bouquet, but I can definitely pinpoint Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, and Champaca. Every aspect of the flowers is captured here, the green, the indolic, the tart, the sweet, the milky, everything. It's like a Botanics course on florals. The Oud is not prominent nor dirty. It provides a solid base to ground the florals, together with the Oakmoss. Overall, a 3D floral experience, with some spices in the opening, and a green/tart earthy base. Totally unisex, natural smelling, and very luxurious. It is pretty linear, but it delivers what it promises.
This one and Silence the Sea are the standouts for me. Definitely overpriced but one can find these discounted quite often.
