Givenchy Silver Edition

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on elemi, bergamot and grapefruit, moves through sequoia and violet leaf, and settles on vetiver, tonka bean and patchouli.

• elemi: lemony pine resin, sharp and slightly peppery
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

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.
