Guerlain Chant d'Aromes

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on aldehydes, gardenia and citruses, moves through honeysuckle, jasmine and ylang-ylang, and settles on heliotrope, vetiver and sandalwood.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• gardenia: creamy white flower with a green, almost mushroomy 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.
