Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on raspberry, neroli and mandarin orange, moves through orange blossom and jasmine, and settles on marshmallow, vanilla and sandalwood.

• raspberry: tart red fruit, jammy with a slightly fuzzy edge
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
