This is quite an intense scent. Very well blended so hard to pick out the notes. You definitely the heavy hit of tuberose at the start. Then the zest of lemon/bergamot, a kick from the Vetiver and geranium sitting on a solid heavy palisander rosewood wood base. On the whole the rosewood is king here. It’s like nothing I have smelt before but that’s no bad thing.
I’ve got to say it doesn’t develop at all on me. It’s rosewood with a floral/Vetiver and citrus kick.
I do like it and it would be lovely to wear on a summers evening or chilly day. It does feel warm and not cool and fresh.
Good longevity and moderate sillage.

Love the review from AveParfum!
It was disconcerting to read something that so perfectly describes my own experience – although I have the oil and not the edp spray ( but the oils and the edp are an identical composition)
Incidentally, this oil doesn’t have the typical BA mushroomy beginning that the Musc and Inranzol oils have.
I have both a sample of Seplasia oil and a full bottle but they are from different batches and although, like AveParfum I find the tuberose noticeable at first in the sample (although never too much) this note does not stand out at all in my FB – which meant I liked the FB even more than the sample!
I noticed (in the 40 years of BA article on this site) that BA does say that since their perfumes are made in small batches, there will be variations from batch to batch.
Based on my experience with Seplasia this is worth bearing in mind …

This perfume blows my mind in the best way possible, and what a surprise! It is more of an abstract scent, meaning that I can’t necessarily decipher specific notes, other than perhaps tuberose stands out the most in the very beginning. I don’t even like tuberose, but this is by no means a tuberose soliflore; far from it. All the notes combine to create something I never imagined possible in perfumery. However I have vivid memories of spending a summer in Nice, on the Côte d’Azure, and noticing a white film on my skin an hour after coming out of the ocean. For the first few minutes, Seplasia smells über salty, like a margarita with salt, but it settles into a scent that smells exactly like the briny skin of a person who is covered in coconut tanning oil who went for a swim in the sea and is baking and sweating under the sun; like that that fine, salty crust that sits on your skin and tangles your hair, and a warm breeze carries the scent of tropical white flowers. It’s breathtakingly gorgeous.
It’s interesting that the sillage is not huge, but it comes and goes. While normally I would hate to have sillage like that, it fits this perfume and the mood it invokes of lazy seaside days along the Mediterranean. Just like you would only get whiffs here and there of your skin, not smell it at full throttle all day long. So this is a skin scent in the best possible sense. Spray it on and forgetaboutit! Just let Seplasia work its magic by surreptitiously teasing your nostrils throughout the day.
Seplasia is THE perfect summer beach scent. While this house’s Musc seems to be the most popular, Seplasia is a grossly underrated masterpiece. It might be my favorite from the house due to its olfactory perfection.

Excellent eau from Bruno until the patchouli kicks in and spoils the mix!
Instead of smoking the olfactory evolution, this patchouli added nothing but earthiness, and dirt, rendering Seplasia highly Unstable, and difficult to wear…
Alas! Times like these, we need the Bertrand Duchafour Mastery that could have separated the patchouli into different layers, using the part(s) he only needed…
Sorry Bruno, but Seplasia is not challenging as it is!
