I have to give this particular extraordinary extract de Parfum a lot of credit, it’s quite simply the most entirely vivid smelling floral you’re ever likely to smell. If it is largely based on champaca then I will have to reevaluate what I think about that ingredient because I remember disliking Tom Ford’s champaca absolute when that was around. Regardless this is a triumphant and delicate smelling floral, moist, juicy, with almost fruity, green notes and a ozonic and citrus opening. The floral smell is somewhat of a mixture of ylang ylang as jasmine a sort of sweet, white/yellow floral and maybe a touch exotic too. This stuff smells of massively high quality to me and I’ve no doubt there’s some orris, and sandalwood in the base, because when first applied it oozes, heavy multilayered luxury. It’s not very long lasting which is not what you expect from something so concentrated but can often be the case.
