Cosmos Flower

Cosmos Flower is a rich floral gourmand for women from the British house Clive Christian, released in 2016. Floral is what everyone notices; most also find it sweet, and a minority describe it as resinous, amber-like, leathery or citrusy.

The notes are listed together. Mandarin, apple and plum give a bright, fruity opening, with pink pepper adding a little sparkle. The floral heart is jasmine, ylang-ylang, violet and the cosmos flower of the name, creamy and lush, with osmanthus adding its apricot-and-suede note. The gourmand side is where it becomes distinctive: rum, caramel and cacao pod bring a boozy, dark, chocolate-tinged sweetness. Leather adds a soft, smoky depth, and benzoin with amber closes it with a warm, balsamic finish.

By character Cosmos Flower is an evening fragrance for autumn and winter, opulent and sweet, and it suits women who like full florals wrapped in dessert and liqueur rather than kept fresh.
