Champaca, from Ormonde Jayne was released in 2002. The perfumer behind this creation is Geza Schoen. It has the top notes of Bamboo, Neroli, and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Champaca, Freesia, and Rice, and base notes of Musk, Myrrh, and Tea.
Champaca is a very light and delicate scent which is inoffensive and clean. It initially opens with a contrasting combination of soft neroli and sharp pink pepper, before the champaca itself becomes present which is sweet and a bit fruity. From here, freesia adds a powdery white floral touch in combination with the neroli, while green tea emerges very gently. However, I’m not sure how you can really vote for the notes of bamboo and rice, who even knows what they smell like? Overall, this fragrance is very pleasant on the nose - gentle, clean and inoffensive while still remaining fairly interesting. For me though it’s simply too weak, disappears very quickly and isn’t very memorable unfortunately.
