Byredo Mixed Emotions

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on black currant and mate, moves through tea and violet leaf, and settles on birch and papyrus.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• tea: dry and faintly smoky, closest to a cup of black tea left to cool

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.
