Ajmal Amber Wood

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 cardamom, apple and lavender, moves through cedar and orris, and settles on amber, woody notes and patchouli.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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