Armani Mania

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on pink pepper, bay leaf and orange, moves through magnolia, peony and iris, and settles on vanilla, white sandalwood and amber.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• 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.
