Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on green notes, grapefruit and spices, moves through ginger, violet and gardenia, and settles on musk, sandalwood and incense.

• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb
• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
