Calandre

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, fizzy and clean, the effervescent quality that makes classic perfumes smell like perfume.

It opens on aldehydes, green notes and bergamot, moves through rose, lily-of-the-valley and orris root, and settles on oakmoss, vetiver and musk.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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