Armaf El Cielo

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on melon, apple and bergamot, moves through lavender, violet and cypress, and settles on vanilla, amber and musk.

• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend
• 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 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.
