Gucci A Nocturnal Whisper

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on incense, myrrh and pink pepper, moves through jasmine, musk and oud, and settles on amber, benzoin and birch.

• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire
• myrrh: dry bitter resin, smoky with a medicinal edge. Frankincense's darker counterpart

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.
