What does Champaca (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with bamboo, pink pepper and neroli, which give it a light, slightly spicy start. In the heart, champaca absolute, freesia absolute and basmati rice keep the floral core soft, creamy and powdery. The base of myrrh, green tea and musk settles it onto a woody, clean finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and very few choose winter. It leans towards daytime, leisure and business settings, and most voters call it feminine. Prada Un Chant d'Amour and Celine Rimbaud have a close profile.
