And Your Lips
And Your Lips by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, bergamot and clary sage, moves into lavender, rose, jasmine and dates and dries down to bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli and white musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Dates Sticky, jammy dried fruit. The backbone of Middle Eastern gourmands.
Dry-down
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
