Chrome Pure

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on mandarin orange and bergamot, moves through watery notes, orange blossom and akigalawood, and settles on tonka bean, mate and white musk.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

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.
