Floral Tample in Asia

Florilegium is a truly narcotic work of art. It takes Tuberose and pushes it into the animalic and resinous corners, and it's interesting how those two elements connect. The animalic side is very present in the early stages, but it's never too much or boring. Instead, it connects with this beautiful resinous side of things and makes it unique. I can also perceive the oud in here in a perfect quantity. After it settles down, the scent opens up a spectacular smoky side, giving it an addictive feeling. I think I've rarely come across something that has this narcotic power. The Tuberose is used masterfully, but is almost a presence rather than the main protagonist; it's like a ghost that keeps going around all the other elements. The smoky side of it starts to take over and becomes darker. It's right here that I can see some very interesting connections to the works of Prin.

It's very rare that a European brand knows its Asian elements so well, and here Michele shows his skills, giving me a new brand to discover and opening wide a door. What I want to say is that some perfumes aren't just the scent itself, but something that takes you to a place, and I am, without any doubt, going into South Asia. Some of these accords are reminiscent of Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India, and most of the time I am searching for these connections. I blind-bought this scent, and I made the best choice without even knowing it. Some scents just call you (or maybe it's just pure luck), and this was the case. Florilegium stays in this beautiful place of temples, flowers, and incenses. The animalic side is now part of the composition internally and is taken over by this sacred unified scent that is spectacular to me. As we say, every time you think you are done with this hobby, someone will pull you right back in.
