I Am Not A Flower

I Am Not A Flower by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ginger, incense and coriander, moves into ylang-ylang, cedarwood, amber and rose and dries down to sandalwood, vetiver, labdanum and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.

Heart

Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
