Daphnedil

This perfume makes me feel like I'm wearing a little black dress doing some super secret work. It's smooth, tingles the nose without being overwhelming. It gets a really nice oomph from the geranium. I definitely like that this is not a basic white floral; it's elevated and settles on the skin like you just came out of the shower. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this scent by varying types of audiences. My niece said she thinks this is what Cinderella would smell like in her ballgown

As a fan of most florals, I was super excited to give this a shot. And Daphnedil is certainly a heavy-hitting floral! I wasn't expecting to get such a "dirt" like note from it though. I don't mean dirty or dirt in any negative way - like another reviewer mentioned, it feels like walking into a very small but focused greenhouse or botanical garden. Very much reminiscent of working in a little flower garden. I'm not sure which note is giving off that "dirt" vibe though so I might be misinterpreting another part of this one :)

It's not really what I'm looking for in a floral fragrance personally, but it's exceptionally well blended and very interesting, and well worth a try if you're a fan of florals at all. If not? Maybe skip Daphnedil :P

The perfumer wrote that she made this fragrance to explore what she feels are underutilized floral notes and I think she hit it right out of the park. This is not your typical bouquet of flowers. This is walking into a green house at the botanical garden. Its filled with some flowers you recognize but most you don't. You immediately fall in love with the interesting blend of white and tropical scents. This is one of my new favorite floral fragrances, it has everything I love about florals but slightly different. There is a bit of indolic-ness with some heat and humidity mixed with hints of green to keep it bright.

This fragrance is mainly a skin scent but with some lift. This lasted about 4 hours on my skin.

A cheerful, spring to summer floral. This is a difficult scent for me to describe. Its better experienced! In the opening there's a temporary pink pepperiness that swiftly shifts in to this pretty mix of sweet, salty, & musky. It's like the tropical floral perfume equivalent of a bag of chex mix. Addictive to those who crave complexity! This mellows out on dry down, settles in as smooth, lemony-sweet floral that has a subtle pop of green & sea spray.

Longevity in edp is fantastic on fabric but I almost exclusively wear this on skin, where it holds well too. Something here meshes with my chemistry & creates this olfactory wild ride of.. bouquet that nearly fell in the ocean -> fresh cut tropical flower tucked behind your ear -> apricot lokum topped lightly with sea salt. I adore this scent!

Smells like a salty, briny, musky version of a fresh floral perfume, like Marc Jacobs Daisy meets the open ocean.
