Creed Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on bergamot, moves through italian jasmine, ambergris and bulgarian rose, and settles on sandalwood and vanille.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• ambergris: a warm, salty, faintly animal sweetness. Historically from whales, now almost always recreated in a lab

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
