Armani Prive Bleu Turquoise

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

It opens on salt, incense and black pepper, moves through ylang-ylang, cypriol oil or nagarmotha and indian jasmine, and settles on vanilla, sandalwood and moss.

• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire
• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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