Bvlgari Splendida Jasmin Noir

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on gardenia and green notes, moves through jasmine and sandalwood, and settles on tonka bean, cashmeran and patchouli.

• gardenia: creamy white flower with a green, almost mushroomy edge
• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb

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.
