Volcanic Flowers
Volcanic Flowers by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ginger, bergamot, cardamom and nutmeg, moves into cocoa, coffee, lavender, gingerbread, lily of the valley and jasmine and dries down to cedarwood, patchouli and amber. 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.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Heart
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Gingerbread Spiced, treacly and baked. Ginger, cinnamon and brown sugar together.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- 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.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
