Bvlgari

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on tea, aldehydes and bergamot, moves through pepper, iris and guaiac wood, and settles on musk, vetiver and cedar.

• tea: dry and faintly smoky, closest to a cup of black tea left to cool
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

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.
