Sybarite

I had no idea what red champaca smelled like. I didn’t even know it was a flower! Based on what I’m getting here, I would describe it as a cross between jasmine and plumeria, two of my favorite florals. I’m picturing a dark-haired woman on an expensive vacation to the Amalfi Coast. Her lover is treating her to a sunset sailboat tour of the coast, an outdoor meal at an upscale restaurant with a lush garden, an all-expenses-paid shopping spree, and endless aperol spritzes. Basically I’m picturing my wife living her best life. I’m going to have her try this. She loves plumeria.

This is a gorgeous scent, beautiful layers all blended together magnificently. I immediately ordered a larger size!

As stated in the product description, Sybarite is a person whose life is devoted to luxury and sensual pleasures. On the label there is a depiction of handcuffs surrounded by champaca flowers. That name and picture, is a perfect description for this scent. This is a rich hedonistic scent. I felt like I was writhing in a pile lush white flowers with a lover while wearing a fine silk dress. Occasionally, we light new incense and feed each other sweet mandarins. The opening of heady florals and citrus felt juicy and delectible. The fragrance then eases into a sensual and cozy vanilla musk scent with the florals still lingering in the background.

I kept thinking of Blanche Bête by Liquides Imaginaires. The main difference between the two is that Blanche Bête is more milk and this is more floral.

This fragrance has more lift than you would expect, its very aromatic and creates a decent scent bubble around you. This also lasted all day, over 7 hours on my skin.

Description says it all. Sybarite is luxuriously lustrous and intoxicating. This scent invites you to stop and smell the proverbial roses, and partake in life’s simple hedonistic pleasures. Exquisite.

This is intoxicatingly beautiful. The champaca is so alluring.
