Indonesian Dreams
Like a picture postcard of an exotically lush and distant land, the Indonesian island of Bali is inspirational to perfumers. Several different fragrances celebrate the notes of white flowers, tropical orchid and exuberant nature the island’s name evokes. Located to the west of Bali, the isle of Java is also a source of inspiration, evocative of intoxicating odors of woods and spices.
To capture the spirits of Bali and Java, we suggest:
|
7:15 AM in BALI (Kenzo)
A voluptuous trail of vanilla orchid and passion fruit. Look for it in the bottle evoking waking up in a luxurious Balinese hotel. |
|
Rituel de Java (Cinq Mondes)
Inspired by Javanese spice plantations, this unisex eau combines cinnamon and Javanese patchouli with refreshing notes of eucalyptus.
|
Bali Dream (Estée Lauder)
An exotically sensual scent blending Indonesian jasmine, ginger, exotic woods and sweet notes. A Bali Dream make-up palette is also available. |
|
Other items to look out for: Italian brand Tocca’s BALI candle; Esteban’s scented range Douceur Balinaise (“Balinese Treat”); By Kilian’s Patchouli de Java candle.
