Afnan Turathi Brown

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on amber, patchouli and woody notes, moves through spicy notes, aromatic spices and vanilla, and settles on balsamic notes, rose and aquatic notes.

• amber: warm sweet resin, soft and slightly powdery. More of a glow than a sharp smell
• patchouli: dark and earthy with a sweet edge, somewhere between damp soil and a second-hand bookshop

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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