Armaf Aura

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on black cardamom, lemon and bergamot, moves through violet, geranium and iris, and settles on musk, amber and sandalwood.

• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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