Dioressence Parfum for women

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on green notes, patchouli and aldehydes, moves through carnation, orris root and geranium, and settles on patchouli, benzoin and musk.

• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb
• patchouli: dark and earthy with a sweet edge, somewhere between damp soil and a second-hand bookshop

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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