Chakra 5 Creativity

I was late to the Aveda Chakra party, but I am certainly glad that I finally arrived! CHAKRA 5 is a spicy floral with a lot of oomph. The rosemary and ylang are equally powerful and manage to transform each other so that this composition smells like neither. How does it smell, then? It smells lush and oriental and rich. This is super-nice spicy floriental perfume. I'd have guessed that clove was implicated, but whatever the notes are, they combine to produce a very likable perfume. I am impressed yet again! Anyone looking for natural perfumes needs to give this line a sniff. They are not at all sweet and perfectly suited to women and men. They also have excellent longevity and sillage--more like an eau de toilette or even an eau de parfum than a body mist. I also find that, as advertised, they do induce in me a sense of well being. For once the hype is anchored in reality...

I used to wear it many years ago in the oil version. I really liked it. I made the Aveda test and it came out that this one (related to 5th chakra) was best choice for me! it was intensely floral, I couldn't detect the notes, but it smelled to me like and Indian floral if it makes sense, something exotic and uplifting!

My Fragrantica friend sent me some delicious new perfume samples to try, and this one goes on almost like a spa aromatherapy. It is uplifting and gently lifts the chakras! Love it! Wow, this is truly a treasure. It has a lot of energy, even from the first blast. You can definitely tell that this is a fragrance that is designed with an intention - and it smells heavenly on. I just read that this may be discontinued. If this is true, what a shame. It is a lovely scent. This smells very similar to how certain spa areas near the massage rooms smell. It is very clean, complex, but the Rosemary is uplifting and smells as if you had just had a sauna and massage! Heavenly and very relaxing!

Why oh why did they discontinue this gorgeous perfume. I love it, and have never found a replacement. I recently contacted aveda as I have millimetres left in my bottle and they have no plans to bring it back. Such a shame. This is a unique spicy, citrus bonbshell of a perfume. Loved and will be sadly missed.
