Silk tree, Acacia from Constantinople, “Silk Flower” in Persian, “Night Sleeper” in Iran, Nemuroki, which means “Sleeping Tree” in Japan, the Albizia is an ornamental tree native to Asia. Its inflorescences are white-pink, pale pink or pinkish-red. Between May and July, they exhale a complex perfume of extreme delicacy. There is a hint of jasmine, reminiscences of ylang ylang, clove leaves, pink berries and a touch of wild strawberries. Perfumer Pierre Guillaume was given the mission by the House of PHAEDON to interpret the Albizia theme for their new feminine fragrance, describing the composition as, “A whiff of ambergris, in which the oak moss would have imprisoned the delicate scent of Albizia flowers beaten by the summer wind”.

Notes:

Ambregris, albizia, oak moss

Almost too fruity in the opening, but then comes in a very subtle earthiness to balance it out; kind of reminds me of Hibiscus Mahajad–– seductive, yet sweet.

Definitely ordering again in a larger sample. (This is the only perfume of my many Scentsplit samples that my partner has mentioned liking without me prompting.)

Hard to put a finger on

This fragrance is a single long, sweet note. It's hard to describe, like red fruit or cotton candy mixed with sandalwood. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I find myself craving it sometimes. It's an extremely comforting scent. If your favorite Bath and Bodyworks scent is warm vanilla sugar, you'll like this, too.

I can barely smell anything, it has a strong alcohol flowery smell. Nothing too astounding
