Roadtrip to Bangladesh
Tested today at the niche perfumery "Le Flaquette" in the suburbs of Lyon, my expectations for this fragrance were high given the heated debates surrounding it on social media.
The opening didn't surprise me too much; the puffed rice takes over and reminds me of several similar fragrances, such as L'Eau Papier or Irik Ukiyoe.
Then cardamom quickly follows suit, with a milky scent softening the explosion of rice. A well-rounded vanilla accompanies this beautiful gourmand blend, reminding me at times of Jousset Accident with vanilla.
The chai latte note finally takes over after 1 hour of application and allows me to imagine myself fully immersed in the streets of Central Asia, preparing chai in teapots, increasing my love for this perfume, me who loves Pakistan and the surrounding culture so much, immersing myself in the tea ceremony of a traditional family.
This blend makes this fragrance quite unique, gourmand but without an overdose of sugar. It's probably in my top 3 best discoveries this year, after Byredo Alto Astral and Prada Paradox Radical Essence.
The sillage is powerful and the lasting power is above average, around 13 hours.
When I think back to some nasty comments that dared to compare it to Kellogg's smacks, really, if you have the opportunity, go and discover it and smell it to form your own opinion.
