In The Dark
In The Dark by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, sweet orange and peppermint, moves into rose and clove and dries down to patchouli, frankincense, cedarwood and incense. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
