| Lisa Hoffman Japanese Agarwood Variations |
Here is how the Lisa Hoffman website describes its Japanese Agarwood fragrance:
“The rare, woody scent of Japanese Agarwood is accented with the refreshing zest of Bergamot, the zen-like ambiance of Spiced Ginger, and the comfort of Warm Amber to inspire feelings of clarity and warmth as your journey of Japanese Agarwood unfolds.”
What is Agarwood? Wikipedia describes agarwood, variously known as aloes wood, oud (a popular note in Middle Eastern fragrances), and aguru, अगुरु, in Sanskrit, as “a dark resinous heartwood that forms in Aquilaria and Gyrinops trees (large evergreens native to Asia) when they become infected with a type of mold.” Who knew? Surely there has to be a metaphor somewhere: something beautiful (fragrance) coming from something ugly (mold). Kind of like the lotus arising from the mud.
When I tried the Morning and Daytime Lisa Hoffman Japanese Agarwood Variations, however, the most obvious note is bergamot. If you like citrusy fragrances, these are for you. I prefer the sensuousness of the Evening and Bedtime fragrances.
Don’t box yourself in! Lisa Hoffman encourages play, so don’t restrict yourself to wearing a particular fragrance at a given time of day. Layer the fragrances, or blend with other fragrances.
The Lisa Hoffman Japanese Agarwood 4-Vial Set in a leather wallet costs $95.00. You may purchase the set of 4 roller balls at lisahoffmanbeauty.com.
