212 Vip Black I Love Ny

Mostly roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on grapefruit and cardamom, moves through lavender and absinthe, and settles on coffee and vetiver.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

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.
