Kilian Bamboo Harmony

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on bergamot, neroli and bitter orange, moves through tea, bamboo and mate, and settles on fig leaf, holly and oak moss.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

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.
