Galop d'Hermes

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on quince and saffron, moves through turkish rose and osmanthus, and settles on leather and white musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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