Cestrum Nocturnum Soliflore ☽•☾ night-blooming jasmine natural perfumea l c h e m y ☽•☾ Concentrated night-blooming jasmine natural perfume with in house C. nocturnum enfleurage and absolutes. Cestrum has a thick powdery scent halfway between heliotrope and honeysuckle. Vernix on décolletage, a cherry dirge. In fact, the outré perfume captured is a remarkable mimic of the aroma of fresh honeysuckle nectar (which is actually not present in honeysuckle enfleurage). It's like the vampire of nocturnal flowers, luring with a nauseating, but no less seductive, sweetness, and a name well suited to its fragrance: "night grave," "night hewn," "nocturnal cut." The soliflore is headier than the enfleurage (also available in house). It is more piquant, exotic, intoxicating thanks to the inclusion of organic C. nocturnum absolutes I made from the flowers in my perfume gardens. The aroma of C. nocturnum difficult to capture and rarely found in such a potent and wearable form. Limited quantity.  Sugg
