The Cora by Thameen
Amber Floral
The Cora is a burst of flowers. Maybe even too strong and sharp in the opening. It has an unusual smell due to a wisteria floral. Later on, the fragrance sets in and gets warmed up which results in a gorgeous timeless amber floral. Not exactly sweet, not exactly fresh. A nice bunch of flowers accompanied by benzoin, amber and musk.
It is a floral but due to amber not really a girly floral. It is a motherly floral. And I mean this in a nice way. No cloying grandma floral at all. It has this aura of a loving and unconditionally giving family figure. Spring time, kids playing outside, a lovely middle aged couple looking happy … like Jessica Chastain and Brad Pitt in The Tree of Life movie … until something goes wrong.
Luckily, nothing goes wrong with The Cora and we can fully absorb the familiar scent of peace and motherly love till the end.
If you are turning forty, it is handy to own a decent floral perfume. The Cora is a classic you cannot go wrong with. The same way you cannot make a mistake with Honour Woman by Amouage for instance. I have my iconic floral Pure Poison, so I am fine The Cora-less for now though. But who knows what happens next.
