Burberry High Tea 12%

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot, clary sage and chamomile, moves through mate, lavender and neroli, and settles on ambroxan, tonka bean and incense.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage

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.
