Amara

I have four fragrances in this line, and while Champaca is clearly, the primary scent, I think that Amara is a descent second. For starters, it’s refreshing that it does not feel like a flanker of the Champaca. There is a hint of apricot and some other similar notes, but it is unique and delightful. Not exactly as unique in haunting, but definitely stands on its own. I’m not a fanatic or expert in this field, so I don’t have the colorful or literally flowery language to describe the scent, however, I love how this perfumer has a very, very different take on florals unlike any of the others in my collection. They seem somehow organic and wild, yet elegant and sophisticated. I think that sums up this fragrance quite nicely. It’s soft and creamy, but not in a powdery, feminine way. I don’t experience it as a cold weather set, but spring to fall, however, I never follow any of those types of rules.
