UK-based bath & body line Molton Brown has introduced Intoxicating Davana Blossom, a new fragrance for women:
Intoxicate the senses. The narcotic notes of Egyptian orange flower and jasmine sambac blend with the soft exotic feel of Indian Davana blossom. The sparkling sun-touched fruity notes of bergamot and neroli fuse with South American resinoide tolu and broom to complete a romantic, elegant and precious experience.
Molton Brown Intoxicating Davana is $70 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum, and is also available in Shower Satine, Body Creme & Foaming Bath Oil. (via moltonbrown)

Ok, I had to search the definitions of some of those notes! The davana flower and the tolu should be balsam scents(?) – so combined with everything else it sounds really nice. I don't know if it's $70 nice, hopefully bbw here will get the bath stuff and I can try it out. I'd not heard of this brand – the men's pepper line sounds so interesting, I'll have to track it down!
And I'm smitten with their bottles and packaging – so clean and pretty!
I'd haven't smelled it yet, but based on what I've tried from the line so far, $70 seems a bit steep. To me, the line is nicer than say, BBW's house line, but maybe not so nice as other things you can buy for $70. We'll see!
I just bought this and it smells wonderful! The floral notes are not overpowering yet it lasts a long time. It is worth the $70 bucks for sure.
Glad you love it! I thought it was pretty.
