Al Haramain Desert

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on lemon, bergamot and apple, moves through orange blossom, jasmine and rose, and settles on cedar, leather and olibanum.

• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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