Ajmal Amber Santal

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on cypress, pepper and nutmeg, moves through sandalwood and incense, and settles on sandalwood, amber and cedar.

• cypress: dry evergreen wood, resinous and a little sharp
• pepper: dry and warming, like freshly cracked black pepper

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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