by Strangelove NYC
Lost in Flowers by Strangelove NYC is a highly photorealistic, dense floral bouquet that feels both natural and orchestrated. It opens with a bright, green-spicy burst of cardamom, marigold, and lily of the valley, followed by a radiant heart of champaca, jasmine, and gardenia, all seamlessly blended so that individual floral notes dissolve into a cohesive, dewy floral landscape. The champaca lends a strangely fruity, banana-like hint that emerges around 30 minutes in, adding a tropical, slightly hazy edge. The oud appears subtly in the base, serving more as a naturalistic, woody backbone than a dominating force—there’s no harsh animalic or medicinal oud scent, just a faintly decaying, earthy warmth balanced by sandalwood and musk. The fragrance evolves with a duality: it feels lush and extravagant in its makeup, yet it settles quietly on the skin—projecting moderately at first, fading to a whisper after 8–10 hours. It’s incredibly natural in its effect, reminiscent of walking through a sunlit, overgrown garden where flowers, grass, and earth mix in authentic harmony.
