Benjoin 19 Moscow Perfume Oil unisex

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on bergamot, clove and lily, moves through amber, labdanum and moss, and settles on amber, ambroxan and benzoin.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• clove: hot, numbing spice with a medicinal edge, like a dentist's surgery in the best case

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
