Flowerbomb Mariage

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, dark, earthy and slightly sweet, the classic seventies note.

It opens on tea, osmanthus and bergamot, moves through orange blossom, rose and jasmine, and settles on patchouli and musk.

• tea: dry and faintly smoky, closest to a cup of black tea left to cool
• osmanthus: apricot-and-leather flower: fruity, a little suede-like, never quite sweet

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.
