Description
La Villa Serena is an all-natural perfume, a limited edition, (40% alc, 10% water, 50% fragrance material) utilizing only essential oils, distillations, and absolutes.
“From August 2012 I have been living in a beautiful community landscaped with exquisite flora such as false jasmine, magnolia, hibiscus and roses. I recently adopted a few citrus trees and have been enjoying the aroma of the blossoms in the late spring sun. At the same time, I have always been a sandalwood and orange blossom fan (see my oil, Chang Samkhan) and so Villa Serena is my attempt to capture both the spirit of Florida citrus groves and the natural flora of Villa Serena.”
La Villa Serena (Natural perfume) was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Marlen Harrison.

first and foremost i am glad to (1)have been able to meet Mr Harrison and (2) be able to purchase this limited edition parfum..
this fragrance has a lot of citrus accords yet still keeps true to the soft and subtle orange blossom aroma. it has a kinda classic and creamy blend to it’s presence. the perfume almost has a borderline classic aroma that keeps me intrigued and constantly sniffing and searching for the familiarity. maybe it’s since i live in central Florida and this reminds me of the orange groves i used to play in as a youth. so i believe that is the piece of the puzzle i am searching for. the orange blossom scent gives way to an almost vanilla woody aroma that is very pleasant and quite enigmatic. this is the sandalwood i am smelling. sweet,sensual and creamy.. almost like an orange cream Popsicle! very refreshing! and borderline gourmandish. as the perfume subsides i am left with a faint whisper of orange laying atop of a piece of wood.
and thus the story ends for this journey through La Villa Serena…

lets start with the presentation.. i was very pleased when i purchased this with the presentation… simple yet elegant.. it came in a nice satchel with a crown and card.. the bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap for those just in case situations that may arise. i don’t usually add this information but i saw it fit to let it be known..
quality of perfume. 9/10 it’s a very well blended fragrance as said before so to me the quality is of a high standard.
sillage and projection 7/10 it acts like a fragrance oil even though it’s a natural perfume,so this does keep the scent bubble a little closer to the wearer.
longevity 7/10 it is a great perfume but it seems to have a slight longevity issue. it’s a light citrus scent so this can be expected.
{but, it smells so damn good i don’t mind!}
overall kings perfumery has made yet another quality fragrance.
*these are just my opinions and thank you for reading.
