Egoiste

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on brazilian rosewood, coriander and sicilian mandarin, moves through cinnamon, damask rose and carnation, and settles on sandalwood, tobacco and vanilla.

• brazilian rosewood: a warm, rosy, slightly spicy wood. Nothing to do with the rose flower
• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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