Boyish
Boyish by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot, pink pepper and lily of the valley, moves into iris, labdanum and frankincense and dries down to ambroxan, cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
