La Vie Est Belle Gold L'Extrait

Mostly dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on frankincense, red fruits and bergamot, moves through iris pallida and damask rose, and settles on oud.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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