Lattafa Asad

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on black pepper, tobacco and pineapple, moves through patchouli, coffee and iris, and settles on vanilla, amber and dry wood.

• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill
• tobacco: dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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