The Michella Champaca or Magnolia Champaca is a rare flowering evergreen in the magnolia family indigenous to South Asia. It produces extremely fragrant flowers used for religious ritual, for scenting the body and hair, and for floating in bowls of water to scent a room. The aroma is a heavy, deep floral, with fruity aspects like dried apricots and plum, and a beautiful tannic tea nuance that acts almost like a natural musk in this flower.
Champaca is gorgeous in Eastern perfumes and blends well with jasmine, rose, patchouli, sandalwood & amber. It also shines like a diamond as a solioflore fragrance set upon a bed of sandalwood and musk.
Some well known perfumes that feature Champaca are:
- J'Adore (Dior)
- Champaca Absolute (Tom Ford)
- Brittania (Roja Dove)
- Euphoria (Calvin Klein)
