Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on ambrette (musk mallow), moves through jasmine, and settles on virginia cedar.

• ambrette (musk mallow): a plant-derived musk: soft, warm, slightly pear-like. The botanical answer to animal musk
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

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.
