Wonderful champaca soliflore! Champaca is known as the Perfume Tree in Southeast Asia for the incredible scent of its flowers! The opening is very much like sticking your nose in one of these huge tropical florets and smelling all the nuances. The notes are shaped and contoured to bring the flower to life and give it depth and realism. Has the exotic heavy sweetness of the flower in its natural humid environment. Drydown transitions a little, and the tuberose becomes evident as the champaca’s wildness fades. Good sillage and longevity.

Oh boy,
this white floral bomb is not for a faint of heart. I am probably a wrong person to review this as white floral is not my thing to begin with. This is way too much for me, and I did try a lot of similar compositions. For instance – Creed White Flowers or A La Nuit Serge Lutens are way superior fragrances.
Campara is a white floral and green mix, that feels heavy, musty even a little rotten for my nose. Sorry everyone!

This review is for the EDT, not the one in the pyramid bottle. Perhaps the Luxe edition is much better than the one I am sampling.
All I am getting from CDG Champaca EDT is a very big tuberose and a little cardboard.

Interestingly, this is similar to Creed White Flowers. I ordered a small vial of it from Luckyscent and was amazed how they are both alike. I own Creed White Flowers so it was amazing to smell like a flowery rose bush garden on a Sunday afternoon. However the notes slightly has a yellowy highlight than Creed White Flowers but its not that far off. I tell you, they are twins. One of them is slightly with the higher concentration of yellowy roses but are absolutely nice to have. I will use the Creed than purchase my Champaca or perhaps not!

This is far too floral for me! The first splash (from a Luckyscent sample) is like walking into a florist: buds and leaves. Then the tuberose starts to talk, deep and creamy, but nowhere near as enveloping as Chloe signature.
From there, it’s pretty much one note on me. I wish I got more pepper and cardamom on my skin, but nope. It’s just a big bunch of powder-room flowers, and I guess I’d rather have the real thing than wear this.
Longevity is great. I can still smell it 10 hours after application.

I just tested the new EDT of the luxe series. It comes in 100ml bottles, at a more affordable price than the EDP.
It was instant love with this Champaca. It smells authentic, very similar to the Champaca solid perfume from Perfect Potion.
I hope it will last long, but I doubt it… the incense series doesn’t last more than 3 hours on me so…
I’ll update this review after I buy it.

The salesperson said that it “makes you smell like an expensive spa” and that’s a pretty good description of Champaca. It smells exotic, expensive and sophisticated in a “rich hippie” kinda way. Very Anita Pallenberg in Morocco. Excellent sillage and lasting power.
Captain Price – :
This is a very beautiful heavy tuberose floral with kick-ass intense freshly ground pepper mashed in on multiple levels. The edges are slightly softened with its musky powdery backdrop, but it’s going to give you an emotional one-two punch so be prepared for that. Not for the faint-hearted nor for someone looking for something ‘pretty’. For men, I think a wonderfully exotic and daring choice. For women, the strong regal type.
This is not a fragrance I could live up to on a daily basis, but one I quite love and admire.

Extremely luxurious and intense, exotic and distant..
A flower hurricane that sweeps you off your feet and carries you to far away lands… A mysterious woody, powdery and somewhat mushroomy dry down that leaves you breathless, wishing you were somewhere else entirely..
Too emotionally intense thus to be used only when the right mood and/or moment comes 🙂
НАЛИЧ – :
I thought I would like it a lot, because someone told me it was quite powdery, so I managed to get a sample of it.
However, I wouldn’t call it powdery. It is a strong floral scent which screams LUXE out loud.
I think that those who love strong and powerful scents like Robert Piguet Fracas would love it.
I prefer other Comme des Garçons offers (Incense Series, Inoki, Sequoia…).
