Description
Ever since it infused Edmond Roudnitska’s groundbreaking Eau Sauvage with its citrus-tinged, floral airiness, Hedione®, an analogue of a compound naturally present in jasmine, has been one of the most widely-used
materials in perfumery. Paradisone®, a captive molecule patented in 1996 by Firmenich, is its purest, most precious and most powerful expression.
Paradisone® is “the angelic aroma of one million flowers… a storm of delicacy and diffusion,” in the poetic words of the perfumer Arcadi Boix-Camps. In the astonishingly radiant Efflor_esce, Frank Voelkl blows its heavenly breeze over an edenic Sicilian orchard. Touched by the luminous soul of jasmine, the fruit, leaves, twigs and blossoms of the orange tree unfurl their heady, sun-gorged scents. Bergamot adds its peppery sparkle; osmanthus, the yielding velvet of its apricot and suede flesh; tuberose, its narcotic sillage. This is nature, but better: Paradise found.
Efflor-esce was launched in 2015.

Quite citrusy with very slight green notes and a slight of tuberose, very fresh with high quality & a hint of sweet as well.
A pleasant to smell.
scooguigersiz – :
A watery white floral (neroli, mainly) with a hairline jasmine over a base that sits somewhere between osmanthus and a weedy vanilla. The scent’s crisp, detailed, and faintly green, and there’s a nice compromise between translucency and presence (it’s resonant, yet feels like it shouldn’t be), but it really just smells like a pixellated version of Neroli Portofino. Perfectly coherent, but without much of anything to say.
valerjan – :
Beautiful orangey floral that’s sweet but not to sweet. I’m a sucker for anything with orange,neroli,bergamot and tuberose in the mix; When I smell this that’s the notes that show up. For me it’s very comforting and perfect for warmer fall days and spring of course or better yet when in the mood for it. Definitely worth checking out.
