Aqua Allegoria Bosca Vanilla Forte

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on bergamot and eucalyptus, moves through solar notes and immortelle, and settles on vanilla absolute, driftwood and musk.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• musk: soft, warm and skin-like. More the impression of clean skin than a smell of its own

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.
