Equipage

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on clary sage, brazilian rosewood and nutmeg flower, moves through carnation, pine tree needles and cinnamon, and settles on oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli.

• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage
• brazilian rosewood: a warm, rosy, slightly spicy wood. Nothing to do with the rose flower

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.
