Galimard CANAICA happily matches the perfume that I wore to bed last night: Bond no. 9 NUITS DE NOHO. Sweet floriental patchouli. Yum. Is CANAICA as good as NUITS? It's close. I'd have to wear it several times before I could decide. For now, on the basis of my 2ml sample spray vial, let's just say that I'm enjoying the experience.
CANAICA is less potent than NUITS, which must be applied judiciously, as pure perfume, in order to be enjoyed, since it's very easy to over do. But the general feeling is the same. Luxury and and warmth. Patchouli and vanilla. Flowers swirling about in the midst of all of this orientalia. I like it!
where can I purchase this perfume ( Canaica by Galimard ?
On first spray this blew my head off it was so intense and heavy. Tonka and Ylang ylang at war. Sickly, cloying and I hated it but left it on to see where it went. It dried down to the flower notes but I didn't get any raspberry at all on me. Still very very strong. This can't be faulted on staying power. Many hours later I was left with the vanilla and hints of the mid notes with a shade of the amber. I could still smell it the next morning after a lunchtime spray.
My take on this was only use if you have a few hours alone first and can stand the wait with a peg on your nose.
However one upside and the reason I'll be doing just that:
It definitely appeals to the male of the species!
I wore this out to a club full of gorgeous girls dressed to kill. With virtually no make up and in plain jeans and T shirt I was beating them off with a stick. The only other time I wore it out it had exactly the same effect. If it wasn't for that I'd be using it as bathroom spray.
Angelic opening (as in Thierry Mugler)
Thick. Dark. Chocolate. Lilac. (Without looking at the notes). Why tuberose? It ruins this. Go figure.
Canaïca isn't a hit perfume, but it would suit a mature lady very well. Not just any lady but a mature & sparkling one who has an appetite for life!
