Armaf Le Femme

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on plum, orange and gardenia, moves through jasmine, saffron and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on vanilla, woody notes and patchouli.

• plum: dark sweet fruit, almost wine-like
• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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