Stephanotis

Stephanotis by Floris is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with orange blossom, petitgrain and galbanum, moves into carnation, coriander, lily of the valley, white flowers and jasmine and dries down to musk, powdery notes and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.

Heart

Carnation Spicy, clove-like floral. Old-school and a bit peppery.
Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
White Flowers A blend of creamy white petals rather than one named flower.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Powdery Notes Soft, dusty and cosmetic. The feel of face powder more than any one flower.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
