La Vie Est Belle Florale

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on currant buds, freesia and bergamot, moves through osmanthus, violet and mimosa, and settles on iris, amberwood and musk.

• freesia: light peppery flower, fresh and a little soapy
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
