Flora Psychedelica is a fresh, green floral with a distinct herbal character that evokes an elegant, vintage sensibility. The opening features crisp absinthe, lemon, and linden blossom, layered over rose geranium and celery, creating a lively, fizzy effect reminiscent of Chanel No.19 but with far more green and herbal nuances. As it develops, the scent becomes powdery and delicate, with a soft rosy floral heart balanced by a subtle, sweet base of carrot and orris root. The fragrance is light and airy, with a gentle sillage and moderate longevity, making it ideal for spring and summer days. While some find it thin or underdeveloped—lacking depth in the drydown—others appreciate its clean, refined, and subtly rebellious elegance, likening it to a wearable, unapologetic style of sophistication. It's not overt or loud, but carries an intriguing, quietly assertive presence that feels both unique and timeless.
