Flame Of The Forest

Top Notes: Bay Leaf, Pink Pepper, Texas Cedarwood Mid Notes: Champaca, Saffron, Himalayan Cedarwood Base Notes: Teakwood, Ambergris Perfume Inspiration: My inspiration for this perfume is the Flame Of The Forest , a tree I remember fondly from my childhood in India. It is a tall tree, standing prominently, dominating other trees in a landscape. Sometime around February, it blooms with brilliant orange flowers. I have a strong memory of walking barefoot under this tree. All around my feet, the ground was covered with orange, velvety petals. I could barely see the soil. I gathered armfuls of wilted blooms and put them in my frock. At the end of the day, my hands were stained bright orange. Flame Of The Forest perfume captures the dry, brown wood of the branch, the smoke and flame this name conjures, and the raw feel of the bare branches. A shock of spice highlights the bright presence of this tree.
