Carolina Herrera Gold Myrrh Absolute

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on black pepper and immortelle, moves through cacao pod and licorice, and settles on myrrh and vanilla.

• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill
• licorice: sweet aniseed, cooling and slightly salty

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.
