Fantasy camellia

Camellia is an odorless flower, so when a fragrance features it, the note is always a fantasy, created through an accord and interpreted by the perfumer. In Camélia K, Sonia Constant imagines a syrupy and sweet camellia—rich and tangy, almost candy-like.

I can’t speak to its similarity to L’Interdit by Givenchy, as I’m not familiar with it. However, this fragrance is clearly not for me; the sweetness is simply too much for my taste. While I can appreciate the creativity behind it, it’s not a scent I’d reach for.

Not my style

"My eyes stopped on a wild red camellia with its scarlet petals in bloom, I was dazzled..."
A morning bathed in dew among flowers: Camelia K wants to represent this.
A sweet floral, with fruity nuances thanks to the "Dragon Fruit", among the flowers I mainly smell a light tuberose, jasmine and a little rose.
Hyper feminine, it is part of the floral series that unfortunately I wouldn't wear, it's not for me.

Can be done

Usually, I find the scents from Ella K very beautiful. Baiser de Florence was love at first sniff, and Memoire de Daisen-In, which also reminds me of Kurkdjian's JHAG roses and has hints of the wonderful Stella by Stella McCartney, is a very fine fragrance. If I had to choose a rose scent, this would be a potential candidate. I could name a few more. Almost every one of the fragrances received a consistently positive review from me. Of course, I also wanted to test the new Camélia K. The fragrance pyramid intrigued me. Orange blossom and jasmine are always triggers for me. And the fruity top note, along with the classically elegant base note, gave me the impression that this could be a scent with a touch of the nineties. Maybe a bit of Alchimie? A bit of Ghost Deep Night? A bit of Ultraviolet? Unfortunately, I must say after the first test, after which I will leave it at that, I was far off the mark.

Yes, the scent definitely has echoes of Baccarat Rouge. Once again, it seemed that a work of Kurkdjian inspired perfumer Sonia Constant. I like the extrait of Baccarat Rouge, even though I usually don't get along well with such modern synthetic bombers. I found the EdP to be very medicinal and can certainly understand the many perfumes and parfumos that locate the scent more in the dentist's office than in the perfumery. However, Baccarat Rouge has something that Camélia K lacks. And that is saffron. Yes, I know, saffron is among the difficult fragrance notes for me that don't always work. However, in Baccarat Rouge, saffron has its justification. It makes the scent, which combines very sweet, fruity notes with a slightly masculine touch reminiscent of classic aftershave and a bit of Aventus-inspired synthetic boom, absolutely interesting for me.

With Camélia K, the same principle happens, but without that interesting saffron edge. The scent starts off very sweet. The tester finds himself immediately in gummy bear land, where a gold bear tree was previously planted, only with red ones. Who doesn't know that advertisement? That's exactly how this tree would smell to me. Then, gradually, this slightly piercing but just bearable, masculine-sounding synthetic note known from Baccarat Rouge creeps in. And that's basically it. For me, it’s meaningless and boring. Yes, a bit of saffron would have actually done no harm.

If I hadn't expected something completely different, I wouldn't be so disappointed with Camélia K. It is known that Sonia Constant likes to orient herself to other fragrances. And she does it really well! My Baiser de Florence is certainly inspired by Dior's Bois d’Argent, but while the Dior is just nice for me, the kiss from Florence is a little dream with its bright white incense at the start and a bit more sweetness in the base. I also appreciate that she has omitted the leather. She is undoubtedly a master.

I am convinced that Camélia K will also find its fans. The powerful sillage will certainly contribute to that. I sprayed it with the bathroom window open just to be safe, as I expected something like this. Nevertheless, the whole apartment smelled in no time. And this, even though I was airing out at -4.5°C. As for longevity, however, Camélia K cannot quite keep up with Kurkdjian's masterpiece. Because after my morning run, the scent had already evaporated from my hand.

My conclusion: Can be done, but doesn’t have to be. Many thanks to BuffyNicole for sharing and the opportunity to test the new Ella K scent.

I have mixed feelings

I don't know where to start.
I am a big fan of Ella K's perfumes.
But when I tested this fragrance, I just didn't get it!
I love Ella K because she infused her soul into her creations.
She made perfumes with her essence, without caring about trends.
But with this latest perfume, I have the impression that she hired a marketing consultant who taught her to follow the same path as other brands, that is, to create to sell, rather than to express herself through her perfumes.
After some time reflecting, I felt guilty for judging her.
At the same time, I think it’s not easy to simply create what she wants.
Unfortunately, nowadays you can't fill your belly with your creations, and sometimes you have to create scents that will sell..
Otherwise, she can't compete in the market.
To be honest, even though more and more niche lovers are emerging, I still find that the trend of niche perfumes is starting to become homogenized because you have to keep up with trends.
At the Souk, for example, you will notice that it is not the most creative perfumes that fill the shelves, but either the new ones or the media-friendly fragrances.
I think it would be honest to say that we as consumers demanded the creation of this scent.
The perfume.
In itself, it’s not bad, but the first thing I think of when I spray it is, of course, "L'interdit Rouge Givenchy".
At first, it’s this provocative blend that strikes me with its strength, particularly ginger and orange.
Later, I find that it distances itself from Givenchy.
It has more presence and it doesn’t bother me with its epic and somewhat sour side that I find in "l'interdit".
Maybe it will become something like a luxury ban..
Ultimately, I enjoyed wearing it because it leaves a beautiful sillage and is a perfume that captures compliments.
The longevity is incredibly good.
So I am undecided.
I like it, but in my mind, I can't forgive it for its similarity to "l'interdit".
In the end
Maybe I am even willing to buy it one day..

Camelia K

Aside from the fact that the fragrance name does not always resonate well with the German female population, Camélia is a fantastic scent. Let me briefly explain why.

Firstly, the combination of tuberose and orange blossom is crafted in such a way that it gives me a déjà vu of freshly picked wild strawberries from my childhood. They were so tiny, but the aroma is something you never forget in your life.

Secondly, a comparison to L'Interdit seems inappropriate to me despite overlaps in the pyramid. L'Interdit haunts me, completely suffocating me in this sugary floral club, stealing my breath and gifting me with headaches.
Camelia is always a tasteful, elegant, softly spicy companion that creates a rather interesting aura through the spiciness of ginger, blood orange, and patchouli, vetiver.

Thirdly: the sillage and longevity are a 10!

Fourthly: Sonja has once again convinced and created a lush, strong feminine fragrance with character that floats around you like waves and is quite sophisticated!
