Boss Selection

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, gentle warm spice, rounder and quieter than cinnamon.

It opens on pink pepper, grapefruit and mandarin orange, moves through star anise, cedar needles and geranium, and settles on musk, vetiver and patchouli.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange

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.
