Encens Chembur Byredo

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot, black pepper and citruses, moves through incense, and settles on amber, ambroxan and incense.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill

It lasts an average amount of time and carries into a room.

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