Alma de Flores Clássico

pure love <3 First sniff is pure lavender and lemon. Like those "seivas de alfazema" (a popular scent here in Brazil) mixed with lemon juice without sugar. After that, a mix of oak moss, woody notes, carnation and benzoin. Balsamic, but very soft, underneath the lavender and the lemon. Very masculine, if you ask me. To us, Brazilians, this is THE ORIGINAL SOAPY SCENT. And i say that because you can find the Alma de Flores soap bar in every drugstore and supermarket for what would be like 0,50 cents of a dollar now (04/2016) and EVERY GRANDMOTHER used this. Smells herbal (aromatic) and fresh, slightly floral and woody. Balsamic enough to gives that comfortable feeling, but never warm. Your nose will be used to this in less than 30 minutes, but you'll get whiffs of it for a couple of hours. After-shower, safe for work, office friendly. Perfect for summers. Risk of being called "grandpa" and that you smell 'old'

Update: with a fast research, i found that the 'flowers notes" are a bouquet of roses, jasmines and lavender. I honestly don't get the sweetness of the jasmin, maybe the freshness of white roses, and of course, tons of lavender.

If there is someone alive who still doesn't know what the genuine scent of Alma de Flores is, it's still time to run and try to get to know something that in perfumery is called "living smell". Here, the way in which each aroma of the notes is placed, superimposed, superimposed and placed again is so natural that I believe that even the famous perfumers, married to a renowned biochemist, could, through intense work, authentically reproduce the original formula that he consecrated Memphis and his entire reign in Brazilian territory! A clean scent, from the lap of someone who truly loves us, from fields dewy by the serene spring night that is broken by the dawn of an intense and voluptuous sun. Aromatic lavender with the scent of sap, leaves, stalks, roots, earth and more water in between, sublime. It's incredible that the soap's aroma is the same as the cologne, the deodorant and the entire line without taking it off, I emphasize this because there is usually a variation in the aroma between one category and another, but here they are totally equal. Alma de Flores brings a resinous and somewhat balsamic footprint that is pure daydream, on which the colony sustains itself and goes to the end in this half opulent streak with sweetish nuances in the resin field. It may seem a little complicated the way I describe it here, but if we stop and take a good look at the evolution of this renowned colony, it will be easy to see the evolution described above. Sometimes, as it is a low-cost cologne practiced in the consumer market, we tend not to allow ourselves to understand what it tries to convey through its aromatic proposal. We're the ones who lose out, I've said.
