Sound of a Ricochet is strong.
I quite like the originality behind it -incensy tonka bean surrounded by vanilla and sandalwood- unfortunately though, there’s a point where it stalls and becomes a weirdly sweet concoction that doesn’t go anywhere and is quite boring.
Also, I think this is one of the less natural-smelling fragrances from the brand.

Love the concept. It begins with you being served tea, along with a matcha green tea biscuit, which displays a Haiku poem. A further wooden tray is presented to you, which provides you with places to stand the fragrance cards you receive. Each perfume is on display before you, the notes disclosed, the Haikus read and then you get to sample each individual scent. Shadowing is explained, allowing you to add a light or dark shadow to these. More tea and biscuits are available if needed and a hot towel served.
I sprayed a different perfume on each wrist and later decided to purchase Sound of a Ricochet. The box, inspired by a Japanese bento box, includes a refillable 50ml bottle of this perfume, along with a 10ml refill, which can be inserted into the beautifully decorated large bottle top and be used as a separate travel or purse spray. Two different bottle caps are included. The bento style box fits into a cardboard box and gold sleeve, which looks stunning.
The perfume itself is gorgeous and part of their Forbidden Incense collection. The notes given are Vanilla Absolute, Tonka Bean Absolute and Sandalwood Oil. I suspect that the incense element comes from the tonka bean, which can be spicy amd cinnamon like. I put two sprays on my neck early yesterday evening and the next morning, more than 12 hours later, I could still smell it strongly on my skin.
A lot of thought has gone into this brand and I think it will gain many fans, however I do have a couple of suggestions on improving it. Firstly, I wish the sprayers on the bottle and the refill were the same size, allowing each bottle cap to fit both bottle and travel spray. At present, only the large heavy cap fits the travel spray, which makes it weigh a ton. If the smaller much lighter cap could be fitted to it instead, it would truly be travel friendly. Also the box is unnecessarily large, being 10″ tall and 6″ wide. I can’t imagine many being able to make space for a multiple number of these boxes in their collection. If the contents were positioned differently, these boxes could easily be reduced by a third in size. The size will probably put me off from buying more bottles, so if I decide that I want another Floraiku perfume, I will likely just buy a 50ml refill and buy an empty perfume bottle separately.
