Creed

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on bergamot, black currant and apple, moves through pineapple, patchouli and moroccan jasmine, and settles on birch, musk and oak moss.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis

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.
