Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to  introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.

  
Fragrance  << Byredo  <<   La Tulipe

La Tulipe   Ben Gorham celebrates his favourite flower by creating a green, dewy impression of a magnificently flamboyant parrot tulip that is sure of a rosette for Best In Show.

To recreate the glorious Herald of Spring, with its turban-shaped flower and serpentine lines, Ben uses an intricate blend of natural oils including vetiver, freesia and rhubarb. Blond woods with touches of cyclamen and a leafy extract from the plant itself complete the picture. In the language of flowers, the black heart of the flower expresses the sentiment, "you have reduced my heart to ashes...".

Use this lovely sparkling scent with care - it may have the same effect!!
