Our first impressions of Floriental are that it is rich and intense, warm and deep - I think we're fans of this at first sniff! This fragrance is described as unisex of which many are often ozonic, light, fresh aromas - but this is not that at all!
Pink pepper gives a rounded spicy note and alongside incense, labdanum, plum (our aroma of the week), vetiver and sandalwood this perfume is velvety smooth. The plum is evident but not in a traditional fruity sense - it's more plum chutney with added spices, darker and more subtle than its fresh juicy counterpart.
Despite being laden with base notes this is much lighter than the individual components might suggest, it has a beautiful sweetness and yet is not a sweet perfume. Vetiver is just evident but as a woody vetiver rather than a smoky vetiver.
This definitely gets our vote and we would be happy to wear it and share it with a special someone with whom we could get up close and personal with.....
