Givenchy Le De

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on tarragon, coriander and mandarin orange, moves through lily-of-the-valley, lilac and jasmine, and settles on oakmoss, musk and guaiac wood.

• tarragon: green aniseed herb, sharp and a little liquorice-like
• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge

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.
