Lattafa Pride Art Of Arabia I

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot and mint, moves through black tea, ginger and lavender, and settles on ambroxan, frankincense and cinnamon.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite

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.
