Carolina Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes for women and men

Carolina has a beating heart. It's one of the scents that represents a place but it has an initial human breath. It's like a casual backyard with grass , plants but also junk, things that are put here and there, not a well tented backyard if you know what i mean. It has a homey feeling , but not the tideness of a well-manicured lawn. I'ts mainly pine and tobacco but i can't say it smells manly. If you like it earthy,green, sweet and warm with a touch of Southern Americana, Carolina is just the place for you!

My first strong impression of this fragrance is the honeysuckle and the magnolia. Then the hay appears with the pine. I lived in the south for a number of years and visited the carolinas often. This scent is more South Carolina than North. While I don't recall the smell of Kudzu flowers (we were always trying to get rid of the vines...in vain) I do remember the piney woods and smell of the jasmine in the evenings. This is another of the Scents of Place that describes a landscape with scent. I like this fragrance but don't imagine I would wear it very often. The pine and hay are a little too much for me and my pionus parrot, my final arbiter of taste, sneezed when I first sampled the fragrance. I don't want to base my reviews on a bird's brain, but, while not the canary in the cage, he is a sensitive critic.

What an interesting tobacco-hay and flowers twist ;o)
