Le Jardin De Monsieur Li

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on kumquat and mint, moves through jasmine, kumquat and mint, and settles on heliotrope, musk and sandalwood.

• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
