Inspired by the Italian flower, the Calycanthus, a tiny delicate flower that blooms in the middle of winter in Italy. The Calycanthus is a beautiful sight amongst the soft white snow and the little droplets of frost in the garden on a cold wintery morning. An elegant little yellow flower brightening up a cold, dreary day. The Calycanthus is particularly found in Venetian gardens and as their flowers bloom, they release a beautiful floral fragrance in the air that heralds the arrival of spring. A happy flower that symbolizes the rebirth at spring-time, Acca Kappa’s Calycanthus fragrance is surrounded by a gorgeous bouquet of flowers creating a soft and enveloping warmth and the wonderful heady white floral tones of spring. This is the perfect mini size to either trial out the fragrance, justify getting one of each scent in the entire collection or keep on you at all times. Because you never know when you’ll want a sneaky little top up!

HOW IT WEARS
Calycanthus opens with a familiar feeling and scent of Jasmine wafting through the air on a beautiful spring day. It is airy and light to open but settles into a softer, slightly sweeter scent on the skin. It is an Eau de Parfum so the longevity is good (around 6 – 8 hours) without being an intense and overwhelming scent.
LORE LOVES
We love the romantic notion of these beautiful, delicate flowers blooming in amongst the snow in the depths of winter in Italy. They are like a symbol of hope that spring-time is not too far away!
