Here in California, we’re surrounded by oleander trees. They line the highways with inviting pink + white floral patterns. There’s no discernible scent as far as I can tell, but every few years some kid dies after roasting campfire marshmallows on Oleander branches. Like Lily of the Valley, Datura, and Digitalis, Oleander is a poisonous beauty.
Lili Bermuda’s mysterious creature is a shape-shifter. Introduction to my skin was a plumeria/frangipani, and then the powdery-iris paints things purple. By the 10 minute mark, a new scent-scape emerged, as a yellow-orange floral with a vintage feel. There’s a sun-tan lotion warmth, minus the calone. Only the best of the best fragrances survive today, from a 1936 launch.

Another really floral fragrance by Lili Bermuda. But this one is not the fresh flowery type of scent, its warm floral, Oleander mixed with amber and vanilla. Its also kinda powdery and musky. Really nice rounded and natural. Would be good for a summery night out i guess.

In Bermuda, there is a time they call Oleander Time, in which all trees of this type bloom and perfume the streets. It is another characteristic flower from the Island, to the point of having gained a postage stamp itself. The Oleander (from the Latin Nerium, can also be called loendro, loandro-of-India, pink Laurel or São Jose flower) is an extremely toxic plant, which can produces white, pink or red flowers. It is said that by eating a whole leaf it can kill a grown man of 80kg. The scent of its flowers is strong, with pollen and slightly powdery aspect.
This fragrance has notes of oleander, white iris root, pink water lily, besides musk and hibiscus and a touch of vanilla flower, in the base.
It is a perfume of contrasts. Upon reaching the skin is strong, however, conveys an innocent aura. Then, quickly turns into a powdery floral with retro aspect. And that’s the way it stayed on my skin, showing a mature facet, like a fragrance that, in my opinion, goes better with older women, who are classic and elegant.
I feel many nuances of oleander and iris, as well as a slight touch of hibiscus. Finally, my reading about this fragrance is: an intoxicating perfume for women of timeless spirit.

This one may be categorized as a LUXE perfume from Lili Bermuda!
Powdery, warm and even illusory sweet. There is something oily in this scent that can make this perfume too heavy for someone – I suppose it’s the feature of the Oleander’s essential oil.
It also has a very distinctive retro fleur of 30’s. So it may suit well those who are into retro style or powdery flower perfumes, or at least Oleander lovers!

When I ordered a package of solifloral fragrances from perfumedcourt.net, this is the representative of the floral note, oleander, which they sent. I suspect it is the predominant note of this perfume. Because I am not familar with the oleander flower, I cannot help you anymore than this. Good luck.
