Boss Bottled Elixir

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

It opens on frankincense and cardamom, moves through patchouli and vetiver, and settles on labdanum and cedar.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• patchouli: dark and earthy with a sweet edge, somewhere between damp soil and a second-hand bookshop

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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