Hoa Sơn Tra

I was worried this would smell generic, but it actually develops into something layered over the first hour. The floral opening is soft without being cloying, and it lingers on my wrist well past lunch. Easily the most interesting thing on my shelf right now.

I keep catching the floral heart about an hour in, and it stays soft instead of turning soapy on my skin. For an artistic scent it's surprisingly easy to wear to work.

The hawthorn note opens green and slightly bitter before settling into something soft and quietly sweet. It stays close to the skin for hours, which is exactly what I wanted from an artistic fragrance. Already eyeing another bottle from the same collection.
