{"product_id":"african-day-eau-de-parfum","title":"African Day Eau de Parfum for Women Citrus Floral 50ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eVetiver in a women's fragrance is a quietly unusual move. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is a root note, dry and earthy and normally found in men's bottles, and putting it under a bright floral is what gives this one a spine\u003c\/strong\u003e. The flowers get all the attention; the vetiver is why they hold up until evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVetiver in the base.\u003c\/strong\u003e An earthy root under a light floral heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree citrus opening.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, lemon and grapefruit together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViolet in the middle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Powdery and soft beside jasmine and lily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight to warm.\u003c\/strong\u003e It starts bright and finishes properly warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Trick Violet Plays\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViolet is one of the strangest materials in the perfumer's kit because of what it does to your nose. \u003cstrong\u003eThe compounds behind it temporarily switch off the receptors that detect them, which is why the note seems to appear, disappear and come back as you wear it\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nothing is going wrong; it is doing what violet always does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Flowers Sit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJasmine, violet and lily of the valley with cedarwood behind them is a clean, airy heart rather than a rich one. It never becomes the big bouquet that a lot of women's fragrances reach for, and that restraint is what makes this wearable at nine in the morning as easily as at eight at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Day Goes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright and sharp for the first half hour, floral and soft through the middle of the day, then tonka bean, amber and musk with the vetiver underneath as the evening arrives. It is a genuine arc from cool to warm, and it happens slowly enough that you notice it without ever being surprised by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Fragrance, Not Two\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayering two scents sounds clever and almost never works, because both were composed as finished things and neither expects company. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you want more presence, use more of one bottle rather than adding a second\u003c\/strong\u003e. The exception is an unscented base product underneath, which supports a fragrance instead of arguing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions About African Day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the violet come and go?\u003c\/strong\u003e The material briefly numbs the part of your nose that reads it. Nothing is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the vetiver noticeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only underneath.
