Al Haramain L'Aventure Iris

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on cardamom, green notes and bergamot, moves through iris, aromatic notes and clary sage, and settles on amber, vanilla and musk.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb

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.
