I Dream Of Paris

I Dream Of Paris by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with rose, apple, plum, blood orange and mandarin, moves into davana, incense, myrrh and geranium and dries down to leather, patchouli, vetiver and guaiac wood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.

Dry-down

Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
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.
Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
