Al Harmain Variety

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on aldehydes, orange blossom and pineapple, moves through lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and leather, and settles on ambergris, woodsy notes and musk.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green

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.
