Lodas

This scent to me tells a story. It starts out so lovely and fresh with the scent of yuzu then it follows that yellow brick yuzu road down to the beach where you get the scent of the coco de mer, which is somewhat like cognac and wraps around you like a luscious silk blanket. After that, hours later, comes the pink pepper and magnolia, which perfumers won't tell but is very much an animalistic scent. All of this is tempered by that beautiful note of cedarwood, something Coco de Mer Fragrances seems to use in all of their scents and something I am deeply grateful for - as it's my favorite of everything in this beautifulmlucious bouquet called Lodas.

Fruit, raw silk, flowers and screamwood. Dry down has a coconut-y feel that reads a little as raw silk, in that vegetal roundness, plus fruits and florals with that synthetic harsh woods note. Overall nothing I like. Too bad because the notes sounded kinda interesting. Those anosmic to Spiky Woods might like this.
