Jamaican Bellflower

A sun-warmed bloom, its fragrance unfurls in lush waves: rich and creamy, like chocolate and nectar mingling in the sultry air. A scent both decadent and wild, glistening with heady sweetness.

This is gorgeous!  In the imp a humid green floral with a touch of chocolate. Like Vanilla Orchid SN but instead of a vanilla facet, chocolate. Wet the chocolate is very prominent but as it dries down it fades back and melds back in with the floral notes. Dry there is a heady sap note, not into jasmine territory or anything. Just adding to that waxy, humid tropical floral vibe. Bottle worthy for me for sure.

This is definitely a rich and sultry scent, but not as heady as the description might sound! I get mostly a mix of sweet tropical white florals in the opening - not-punchy tuberose and a tame jasmine with a teeny hit of bell pepper greenery (à la certain dead leaves), which complements the floral notes super well. As this dries down, a soft orange blossom note takes the forefront, with the other flowers taking a supporting role. I feel like this and the other floral fragrance (Night-Scented Orchid) from the Hurricane Melissa relief release both fell under the radar, but I would highly recommend trying this if you're looking for a rich but not overwhelming tropical white floral scent.

In the bottle, a heady mix of gardenia and cacao- not the powder but something straight from the plant, pre-processing. Decadent, but not at all foodie.

Wet on skin, a fresh, green note interjects itself, but it's not jarring, it's like smelling jasmine or honeysuckle on the vine, and then realizing the vine itself it adding to the aroma. 

Dry Down, the perfume fully blooms. And I mean BLOOMS - this scent has a high throw, so definitely apply sparingly until you know how it'll behave with your particular skin chemistry. The fragrance is hard to place- a rich and fleshy tropical bloom as others mentioned, but also defying exact description. It's some intersection of gardenia and honeysuckle and night blooming jasmine, greenery included, plus the specificity of flower nectar and yes, that chocolatey note- the way rich vanilla bean reads as almost chocolate- and it all comes together to give a vibe like being in an enclosed space- a greenhouse, perhaps, absolutely abundant in blooms, and being completely enveloped in the scent. It's ridiculously beautiful and beguiling, even for someone like me who is typically not such a fan of florals.

In all: do NOT pass this Bellflower up, she is worth the hype. ❤️❤️❤️
