Notes: mint, galbanum, Bulgarian rose, Egyptian jasmine, Indian tuberose, white musk
"This petal-rich floral tells three love stories in three voices, through three flowers... Rose for passion. Jasmine for romance. Tuberose for forbidden pleasures... Flamboyant and seductive."
3 Fleurs is a vividly rich green floral, which could be considered flamboyant in its general demeanour.
With a soft spearmint note running throughout the composition, the galbanum accentuates the verdant aspects of the florals. The jasmine is slightly indolic, the tuberose is creamy, and the rose is citrusy, dewy and elegant. There may also be a hint of geranium but one isn't entirely sure. The end result is a beautifully lush and radiant floral bouquet, with a skeletal structure that serves only to emphasise the olfactory attributes of the florals.
Exhibiting a honey-infused sweetness, the composite aroma occasionally shifts into champaca territory before minty facets intervene. But during the drydown, it becomes more of an ethereal and musky rose affair, which is less vibrant and captivating than what went on before. Actually, it could easily pass for the mid notes stage of a Les Parfums de Rosine creation, at this point.
Using good quality materials and smelling very natural, it's a gorgeous unisex floral effort that could have fared better with the odd tweak in the base. However, as mentioned before, it's all about the florals with any potential distractions kept to a bare minimum.
Staying power is above average, with good sillage.
