Ch Bad Boy Dazzling Garden

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry dark chocolate, more bitter than sweet.

It opens on white pepper and grapefruit, moves through clary sage and vetiver, and settles on cacao and tonka bean.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage

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.
