Flowerbomb Nectar

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on gunpowder, cassis and bergamot, moves through orange blossom, osmanthus and jasmine sambac, and settles on vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin.

• cassis: blackcurrant: tart and purple, with a green, faintly sulphurous bite
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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