Perfume rating 4.04 out of 5 with 24 votes
Botanical Essence No. 9 by Liz Earle is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Botanical Essence No. 9 was launched in 2016. Top notes are Cassis, Bergamot and Ginger; middle notes are Patchouli, Damask Rose and Osmanthus; base notes are Haitian Vetiver, Oakmoss and Vanila.
Botanical Essence No.9, launched in 2016, captures the unique energy of moments after a rainstorm, as the clouds part and the sun begins to warm the forest floor. It "takes the wearer on a mysterious olfactive journey right to the fragrant heart of a lush and verdant landscape, laden with the scent of ripened berries."
"This evocative modern scent contrasts the warmth of a traditional chypre with the rich succulence of dark forest fruits. Juicy top notes of blackcurrant bud are complemented by crisp bergamot and vibrant red ginger. Beyond, a heart of velvety rich osmanthus is offset by the intense exoticism of Damask rose and smooth patchouli. Created around a base of woody oakmoss and Haitian vetiver, enveloped within the warmth of vanilla. Over 90% derived from natural ingredients."
Top Notes: Blackcurrant bud, Bergamot, Red ginger
Heart: Osmanthus, Damask rose, Patchouli
Base: Haitian vetiver, Oakmoss, Vanilla
The bottle is available as a 50 ml eau de parfum spray.

I really love this, but for special occasions only because it is a very grown up, bold, stand out fragrance.
On first application this is SO strong! The blackcurrant top note is very in your face, and the combination of the others reminds me of aniseed, but there is none present. A plus (for me) is that this bit tones down pretty fast .. but only to a milder version of the same scent initially, which is perfect!
As it dries down over time all the other notes come through. Hours later the scent is warm, rounded, not too sweet, and super inviting.
It is worth mentioning that the blackcurrant remains a focal feature throughout the entire perfume life cycle, so if you are a blackcurrant fan this one could really work for you.

Not something I reach for often.
Every time I wear it, it feels like there is something missing in the middle of it - and I am looking for the rose note, but never find it.
So I sometimes add in a purer rose layer over the top which balances it out nicely.

This reminds me a bit of Yves Saint Laurent Elle, but fruitier...similar feel & structure (fresh/patchouli). Really, I just wanted to say what a great realistic fruity/blackcurrant note this scent has. I think they got it just right because it's juicy sweet/sour & tart, without verging into "fruit syrup" or pungent "cat pee" territory. It has really captured the pitch & tang of the real thing, I think.
I like this for Autumn & almost used up the entire bottle last year. It's less sweet & quite distinctive & different from the popular sugary/fruity/patchouli combos. It's a nicely done perfume with some character, if you'd like an autumnal berry patchouli. I will probably re-buy this, too.
Edit to add: For a perfume that has "over 90% derived from natural ingredients" it is surprisingly rich/strong - no chemical fug here, & nothing wishy-washy about this one either. The more I wear it, the more I like it. Liz Earle perfumes are pretty good, & underrated, imo.
