Cotton Flower is a warm, floral, woody scent created in 2015 by Paolo Terenzi. It is a scent inspired by nature and designed as a wellness therapy for the spirit.
Review
This scent is soft, bright and airy. The flowers create a delicate essence, as if you're in a meadow covered in flowers on a breezy, warm, sunny, summer day. Something in the blend creates a Cottony essence - perhaps it's the Bergamot blended with the Clove, or maybe the Oak note - that lies somewhere in between the softest, coziest, cotton fabric you've ever felt, and freshly laundered sheets that are hanging on a line to dry in the sun. Even then, it's not exactly a fresh laundry kind of a scent, but it leans in that direction. It almost has a spa day energy, but it doesn't quite fully lean into that aroma either. It's such an easy, carefree scent that feels light and fluffy. It reminds one of carefree summer days and evokes a playful happiness. It has a truly casual vibe to it that can be worn anywhere you desire, though may be a little too casual for formal occasions. It shares similarities with Noa from Cacharel and Valaya from Parfums de Marly.
Inspiration
This scent is inspired by the idea that we all need to take a little time for ourselves. It is recommended for improving mental clarity. Forget about your qualms and just be. Use this scent to stimulate intuition and creative ideas.
Notes
A floral bouquet gets a splash of crisp Bergamot, and then a burst of Clove that stands out without being overpowering. A warm base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean and Oak help the fragrance to last without developing into too much of an earthy, woody scent. The soft quality of this scent lasts.
