Calycanthus Acca Kappa for women

Calycanthus is a beautiful and refreshing interpretation of an old English garden.

My childhood home is built on 4 hectares, 2 hectares being an English garden complete with white gravel paths, archways and a vineyard. Calycanthus takes me back there.

It opens quite strongly with sweet, dewy jasmine and orange blossom. There's also a rather green feel to this fragrance, making it smell like a natural bouquet of flowers rather than a perfume.

As it develops a sweet powderiness begins to show. It doesn't overpower the composition, but it does however give Calycanthus a clean-like quality.

This fragrance is all about sparkling florals and sweet honey. It's not particularly unique, but it is distinctive. A wonderful Spring fragrance in my opinion.

This fragrance is pretty, feminine, fresh and lasting. It may be niche, but Calycanthus is not a fragrance so daring that it can't be worn by perfume novices. I do believe that a majority of people will enjoy this fragrance, one reason being that it's a nicely composed jasmine scent, one that doesn't overpower or turn rancid on the skin.

This is surprisingly attractive scent. It's not complex but very fragrant with strong white floral notes. Calicanthus is not actually listed but the flower has a scent that reminds a lot of thick jasmine. It's kind of an ancient flower in perfumery. This fragrance is very good as a feel good feminine floral smell. Lasting power is average.

Calycanthus is a type of plum blossoms which can be found in Italy only. I like the smell of this perfume for more than 6 years. The shops of Acca Kappa were closed in Hong Kong a couple years ago and this brand is resuming to locate Hong Kong again.

Not doubt, the smell of this perfume is so fresh and young and reminds me the lovely left-over smell from laundry. And this is one of the rare white flower base perfumes which I can wear comfortable and smell nice.

I wish I was getting the notes that other folks have. It just smells like a very dry and soapy white floral. I pick up some jasmine, with little sweetness. The soapiness just overwhelmed the other notes for me. And I did not get the honey. Kind of generic as well, it is unlikely I would be able to identify it on someone. I can say that it is both delicate and clean smelling, which may suit some who do not want to offend with the strength of their scent.

Jasmine and I do not get along unfortunately in most cases, and this is no different. The slightly indolic nature of this (and other jasmine scents) does not make my brain feel good when I sniff. Although this is a relatively light fresh jasmine with some sweetness from the honey, it still doesn't agree with me.

I found a bargain bottle, I'm going to have it again soon-yes!!!

It's an unusual fragrance-and it has the touch of sharpness and soapiness that most florals will have-but it's unforgettable and it wears so beautifully during the spring and summer!
So I've learned my lesson: If your boyfriend doesn't like your favorite perfume, drop the guy, not the fragrance.

(Well-this isn't my absolute favorite, but it is a beauty-Let's hope my nouveau beau (who has better tastes) will enjoy it as much as I do....)

An edible jasmine? maybe! It is beautiful and flowery, the essence of jasmine - or, actually, it smells like mock orange to me.It is probably one of the best and well balanced jasmine perfumes, in my opinion. Another amazing quality - it actually becomes stronger during the day, developing the sweet honey underlayer that lingers and lingers.

This is the most feminine and delicate fragrance I've smelled yet-absolutely beautiful, floral without being sharp, heavy or dusty.Sweet, like eating carambola rather than a mango.


update: My (ex)bf says its smell reminds him of disinfectant I have never disagreed more about a scent with him that about this one. I can see that there is a strength about it, and a very floral fragrance is not for everyone or every day, but I still have to have this one.

I really want to try Glicine...I no longer like this one because it is too sharp.....

The Calycanthus is a flower found in Venice which blooms in the heart of winter. Tradition states that receiving this bloom is to be given love and care.
This pretty little wildflower intoxicates the air in Venetian gardens through winter, It reminds you that spring is very close. It's heady fragrance warms your cold skin just like the honey in this version. This bouquet of orange, honey,musk and jasmine does this little flower justice. Acca Kappa have captured the alluring 'pretty' scent in their Calycanthus. The blend is sweet yet exotic and blalanced to create a true sweet floral. The more you inhale this the more it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.Totally intoxicating.....
