Teratai

This is lovely, and does nearly exactly what it says it's going to. Teratai is a natural perfume, so everything smells fresh and as it should. The dominating note is a sweet, heady, on the verge of overwhelming honeysuckle, surrounded on top with a bright grapefruit note, and then a fresh green tea note as the scent warms on your skin. As it dries down I feel like I smell more Jasmine vs. a Lotus note, but overall this scent is a strong, sweet white floral that actually wears pretty loudly and has decent lasting power for a natural perfume, going for 6 hours on my skin. This is a natural perfume so that's pretty much what it does. The white floral accord simply fades out, there are not real base notes to be found. I enjoy wearing this a lot though, the perfume is dispensed in a roller ball and the base is coconut oil vs. alcohol, so it's very pleasant to put on and it feels smooth and moisturizing on my skin. Usually I dislike roller balls but in this case it really works, it's nice to have a change of pace in regard to wearing/applying perfume sometimes and Teratai really is a big, concentrated oil perfume. Sometimes I feel like scents need to be sprayed to be "heard" but not this one. I bought a three pack of 10 ml rollerballs from this company for $60 which is reasonable. I think eventually these will be nice to wear as bedtime scents, or to layer with another scent.
