AO
AO by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, pink pepper and mandarin, moves into fig, sambac jasmine and incense and dries down to myrrh, vetiver and tonka bean. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Dry-down
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
