Jean Paul Gaultier Divine

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on calypsone, bergamot and red berries, moves through lily, ylang-ylang and jasmine, and settles on meringue, musk and patchouli.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• red berries: a general tart-berry impression rather than any one fruit

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.
