Al Haramain Natural Iris

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot, orange and mandarin, moves through iris, grapefruit and ginger, and settles on lily of the valley and musk.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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