Sikkim Girls, from Lush was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Mark Constantine and Simon Constantine. The notes are Frangipani, Jasmine, Tuberose, Vanilla.
Sikkim girls is a very intriguing perfume. Under the tropical frangipani and tuberose, there's a very nice smokiness. That particular smoky effect also feels lightly incense like. I'm not sure where it comes from, but I'm guessing the vanilla used has its rough aspects enhanced rather than blurred. After Lust, I was expecting a bomb, but Sikkim is less in your face. Strange, considering it is tuberose rich! What I mostly get is the frangipani, which combines aspects of gardenia and jasmine, and a banana like sweetness that could be related to ylang ylang or the frangipani star of the show. Up until the third hour there is hardly any change; it's all white creamy dreams. But tuberose is invited to the party, so she has to make her presence known. Mostly in the form of a cool camphor breeze that cuts through the sweetness as she briefly exits the scene. And this is Sikkim on my skin. White flowers, small intervals of tuberose camphor, and smoky tendrils in the background. Utterly beautiful. Quietly meditative. Long lasting with average sillage.
