Blue Sri Lanka

Now what i tell you, this is a coffee, blue lotus and ambergris scent, but it blends very well together. When you first apply it you get a strong feeling of coffee, sweet lingering coffee laying on your skin, a cozy coffee reminding of such you sit by the beach and sip. Then you got the beautiful blue lotus coming out and showing a woody and floral face, but after that we got the ambergris which really gives it a sea breeze feeling, a very nice scent overall

Far more masculine and delicate than the explosive and intoxicating Nectar Poeticus, Blue Sri Lanka is deceivingly complex and extraordinarily elegant.
This attar opens with a strong refreshing roast coffee note, which i feel is so rarely done right in naturals, but it is unexpectedly transitioned into something more akin to a cold brew paired with the cool blue vespers of oceanic brine and aquatic lotus that creates a refined ozonic (and surprisingly professional) aroma. With a lack of spices, the coffee is not a warm note. Instead it soon melts into the rest of the composition leaving the wearer with a slightly bitter, much-more-so sweet, creamy, lightly salted crystalline BLUE note that only synaesthesia can hope to describe.
As the heart notes start to become the undercurrent of the aroma, the dry down leaves you with a transition from an icy blue to a slightly purple blue smell as the ouds at the core of the blue roast base take the center stage.

Lasts well throughout the day, but longer on skin. I find it more close to skin than projecting but others tell me it's stronger.

If it must be pigeon holed- This is a datenight scent for spring and fall

The only reason this rating is not 5 stars is purely because I have to compare it to other Elkhaldis and it's more delicate, but just as beautiful as many others
