Caleche

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

It opens on aldehydes, cypress and bergamot, moves through iris, ylang-ylang and rose, and settles on oakmoss, sandalwood and vetiver.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• cypress: dry evergreen wood, resinous and a little sharp

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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