Flor de Madera

I adore this perfume! It’s what I had hoped Mojave Ghost would be, but I can actually smell this one and it lasts longer. This is a fantastic desert summer scent. It reminds me of late afternoons in sitting outside in Sedona. Not a “skin scent” per se, but can be worn to the office without choking out your colleagues from across the room. 9/10.

This fragrance instantly impressed me with its Mexican desert theme, with notes that truly bring that landscape to life. The opening is particularly captivating, featuring a distinct tamarind note—the dry, flaky husk, not the thick, sweet sauce. This is beautifully layered with a distant hint of chocolate, almost like freshly brewed coffee. It's a truly unique and intriguing start. That initial impression then smoothly transitions into a heart of delicate jasmine and violet, wonderfully light and dry. These florals blend seamlessly with very dry woods and the neutral scent of warm sand. The fragrance settles into a base of warm wood and suede leather, providing a comforting depth. While it sits close to the skin with subtle projection, it leaves a captivating sillage that will pique curiosity. I can easily see this worn by a woman, or a confident man who appreciates nuanced, gentle fragrances. Its Spanish name, meaning "Flower of Wood," perfectly captures the essence of the scent. I'm definitely considering a full bottle and plan to wear this often during the summer.

This is a nice fragrance for those that want something a little different than mainstream. floral driven w Tamarind topping. Im assuming tamarind, in lieu of the smell knowledge on tamarinds. the scent: somewhat like clay, a zing of a watery citrus and a drop of medicinal - overall enjoyable. Light not heavy, sits closer to the skin than most but still projects. it reminds me of something in the Byredo line.

A bit green, a bit bright, but a bit velvety at the same time. I get some suede and vetiver. I honestly picked up the citrus and tamarind a lot more in Dulce de Cuerpo, which is now my favorite of the trio. Similar to Mojave Ghost, maybe a bit less sweet with the purple florals dialed up a tad. The jasmine really comes through on the drydown.

This smells like flowers and sunscreen. Like summer sunshine by the beach. It's not powdery to me, which I like.
