Benjoin 19 Moscow unisex

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on amber, angelica and clove, moves through amber, cedar and labdanum, and settles on amber, ambroxan and benzoin.

• amber: warm sweet resin, soft and slightly powdery. More of a glow than a sharp smell
• 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.
