Kokura

This little beauty convinced me after just one spray. It is considered the chypre scent in this series by Carmen Vidal. At the end of my spa treatment at the Landmark Hotel (London), the therapist sprayed "Central Park" into the air and I found it had very candy-like notes. Later, she sprayed "Mediterranee" onto my left hand and "Kokura" onto my right. The scent on my left was immediately uplifting and energising, full of citrus power. The scent on my right was subtler but much more complex. I can't stop smelling my right hand! I was so convinced on the spot and bought the 50ml EDP pack, with extra purse-sized roller parfum. For me, the notes that come across so well are green tea, orange, and cedar. This is much more wearable to the office and to daytime social functions than any of my other chypre parfums.
