Rose-candied lokum served on a fine wooden board...
First of all, a big thank you to Raindrops for the fantastic bottling. Sprayed on and again: the house just keeps on delivering surprisingly well! This time, however, it was inspired by the Turkish sweet Lokum. But do you really want to smell like it?
Let's get to the bottom of this question right now, let's get into it:
- With the first spray, this beautiful scent of Lokum really unfolds; somehow sweet, sugary, but then underpinned with this beautiful raspberry note, also fruity. The currant hovers slightly sweet, fruity, but also greenish in the background, but the main star remains the Lokum in the opening.
- The opening then fades noticeably, the locum with the raspberry continue to carry the fragrance into the heart note, where the rose now takes over the stage. A juicy rose that is present, but never stands alone, because in the background this cherry blossom is also quite perceptible, which brings a certain fresh, slightly powdery character and is balanced with the spice of saffron.
- In the drydown, the fragrance then becomes creamy and woody; it's difficult to describe, but it gives the impression of sandalwood, but it could also be something else that gains this creaminess and sweetness from the vanilla; but it's definitely more creamy and woody. I only detect a hint of pistachio when I smell it closely, and only because I have read about it.
- Longevity and sillage are well above average, you can't complain about almost any fragrance from the house.
Now to summarize and back to the initial question: Would you wear this Lokum fragrance in everyday life? Hm... i probably wouldn't, I don't go for fragrances like this... but there are definitely many people who might like this exciting Lokum-rose-wood combination, because it is never really too sweet, or too woody, or too floral, but very well balanced. You get a beautiful fragrance progression, starting from this sweet-fruity locum note, through a rose note to a woody-creamy drydown.
