Gentleman Boisee

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on black pepper, geranium and coriander, moves through iris, cacao pod and cedar, and settles on woodsy notes, sandalwood and patchouli.

• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill
• geranium: green rosy leaf, sharper and more minty than rose itself

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.
