Lattafa Al Noble Wazeer

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on mint, orange and bergamot, moves through chocolate, caramel and pear, and settles on amber, vanilla and sandalwood.

• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite
• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon

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.
