Godred Eau de Parfum/ Cologne Intense
The scent opens with bergamot and neroli, followed by blueberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. The fruit theme expands to include ripe plum and the spicier pimento. Vetiver helps keep the structure from becoming too dense and steers the neroli into a warm, full jasmine and tuberose. The pitch of the blossoms is matched by patchouli, which amplifies the decidedly oriental and vanilla notes of opoponax, cinnamon and Peru balsam. A touch of fresh tobacco and waxed wood start the dry down; as the dark fruit and green woods fade, so the exotic oudh, saffron, nutmeg and clove give the incense an intensity. The scent remains intimate without becoming wholly narcotic.
This works as a cosy winter scent, but it can also add an exotic note to a summer evening.

Which concentration?
EdP or Cologne Intense are the same dilution, roughy 22-24%.
Pure Perfume/Extrait is a stronger dilution - between 25-33% depending on the perfume as some suit a higher concentration. Pure Perfume is less volatile, so it sits closer to the skin, deepening the effect and emphasising the complexity.
The 10ml comes in a clear, screw top bottle, if in an oil dilution, a roller-ball bottle is supplied. All other sizes are in spray bottles.
Oil
All sizes are available in an oil base, rather than alcohol, this will make the scent more intimate; it will sit close to the skin, but lasts about 8-10 hours. We use golden jojoba oil as this is the closest to skin sebum and is least likely to cause any skin irritation.
