Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Bahiana is an amazing somewhat beachy and somewhat incensey mix of a perfume, inspired by the hot summer nights in Brazil, which it captures incredibly well. This fragrance falls in the floral category with notes of lemon, orange, fir resin, guaiac wood, rose, coconut, musk and amber. Jeanne-Marie Faugier was the creater.
Fragrantica: "This fragrance opens up with a bit of citrus spice, with some sweet fruity greens. Bahiana gives off this airy, but pungent aura that really invigorates your senses as the drydown expands."
Fragrantica: "A nice choice for the spring or summer, what I enjoy most about Bahiana is its subtlety. Besides its soft sillage, the sweet notes never become too sweet, the florals serve as accents, and rather than coconut milk, which might be the obvious choice, Bahiana incorporates coconut's greener and more watery facets."

I had high expectations for this one, based on the notes, (and the name, which I love), but the opening was a little too green, and although the dry down was nice, it didn't stick around for very long. This is why we sample first.
