Burberry Garden Roses 20%

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on grapefruit, italian lemon and bergamot, moves through bulgarian rose, green notes and black currant, and settles on vetiver, white musk and cedar.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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