Boss The Scent Le Parfum

Mostly cool, powdery and slightly rooty, closer to makeup than to a flower. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on maninka and ginger, moves through iris, and settles on woodsy notes and leather.

• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread
• iris: cool and powdery with a rooty edge. Closer to makeup or clean laundry than to a flower

It lasts well 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.
