Givenchy Songe Precieux

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on guava, pink grapefruit and pink pepper, moves through pink peony, water lily and jasmine, and settles on white musk, cedar and sandalwood.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts an average amount of time and carries into a room.

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