PERFUME: Little Flora
COMPANY: Bpal
AVAILABILITY: Limited. Yule Turn of the Screw Subseries 2012
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: Peonies and cream.
BEFORE I SMELL: I read the turn of the screw last year and it’s a very interesting and
strange book. I love how perfumers take
inspiration by literary works or paintings. I also like to compare how the perfumer
imagines and therefore creates the scent and how I have imagined the scent. Sometimes
I smell something and I say Yeah this is it!
Despite the
literary theme I love peonies! I haven’t smell one in real life thought.
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Hazelnut! That’s wasn’t expected!
Cream and a green note.
WET ON SKIN: Toasty hazelnuts and cream. Then these notes disappear and I get fresh
flowers like somebody cut them from the garden 10 minutes ago.
DRY DOWN: Fresh peonies. Reminds me classic French perfumery.
The cream it’s just a hint now and helps the
scent to not go totally green.
On my dress I still smell the hazelnut-cream note but my skin ate it!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
It’s a nice floral
perfume! If this was a colour it would be pink!
