Eau De Givenchy Rosee

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on osmanthus and mandarin orange, moves through rose, water hyacinth and jasmine sambac, and settles on white musk and patchouli.

• osmanthus: apricot-and-leather flower: fruity, a little suede-like, never quite sweet
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

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.
