Champaca Cultus Artem 2019

Tart, bitter and sweet Apricot perfection
The bitter-tart apricot open was off-putting at first, but now I find myself re-applying during my wear to get another hit of it~ As @bunnymusk on another site said the apricot opens as a dried, tart preserved fruit but "slowly hydrates on your skin"
This smells like late summer/very early fall to me. It wears close to skin like a natural, but it doesn’t have that waxy smell in the background so many of them do. I mainly get apricot and champaca, but much like bunny’s review the open is clearly a dried apricot, touched with bitter herbs, which slowly softens into a juicy ripe apricot and sweet, powdery Champaca.
It’s the color of autumn leaves.
All gushing aside, the MSRP on this is insane. I was able to snag a failed blind buy; and I think you can find them marked down relatively regularly.
