Al Haramain Signature Red

Mostly sweet powdery flower with a green edge, like violet sweets. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on bergamot, mandarin orange and green notes, moves through violet, nutmeg and jasmine, and settles on leather, sandalwood and cedar.

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

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
