Eau Des Merveilles

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on orange, elemi resin and lemon, moves through amber, pepper and pink pepper, and settles on fir, cedar and madagascar vetiver.

• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

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.
