Jean Paul Gaultier Le Parfum

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on cardamom, moves through lavender and iris, and settles on vanilla, oriental notes and woodsy notes.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

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.
