Flora Psychedelica

Fascinating actually. I bought the Edt in a sale and it was weirdly herbal, not the powdery smell I was expecting but I began to enjoy it and ended up purchasing a big bottle of the Edp. So different! Its amazing what different concentrations highlighted and what sank into the background. The Edp was an instant hit as for me, its a quirky niche Chanel No.19. I'm not claiming they smell quite like twins but they have the same cold, bitchy and powdery feel that just makes me see emerald green! Its not as standoffish or as put together, its got more unusual facets but its beautiful. Whilst the Chanel I may wear to a job interview for the polished competent feel, this is my perfect perfume for going out alone when I want to feel classy and unapproachable but in my own style of clothes, no suits. Fairly quite but lasts reasonably well with the main notes being the orris, carrot and linden for me with the feel of a lily. I'd love to see what a parfum version would bring out!

This is definitely my favourite. I love absinthe so not difficult then. Absinthe is immediately evident along with an array of floral notes. This is definitely a 4160 Tuesdays creation with it’s fizzy effect. This is the most fresh smelling of the four. There is some sweetness with herbs (the celery, rose geranium and tea). I get cocoa and cedar as well in the base which are the last notes to fade. Is that an illusion created by the humble carrot? It feels very feminine and perfect to wear with a nice 30s floral dress. Moderate sillage and longevity.

This fragrance sends me a bit confused @ _ @! But in a good way. It is a floral scent, with the strong geranium note, it is relaxing and sunny. Nice drydown! The sillage is strong longevity in the average ... interesting parfum of so many facets! Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Scent: 7.5/10 Overall: 8./10

I have a sample of this only. However when funds allow I may buy a bottle. I received many compliments when I wore it to work on a Summer evening. I wasn't able to smell it myself, however, one lady commented that it smelt like a ' vase of flowers'.

I don't know what it is, because it's not a kind of fragrance I'd normally go for, but I love it. It's a floral, but not a classic floral, it's fresh and it's green but at the same time neither cold nor twee.
