Le Labo Baie 19

Mostly dark, earthy and slightly sweet, the classic seventies note. Underneath that, the smell of air just after a storm, sharp and faintly metallic.

It opens on juniper berries and green leaves, moves through patchouli and ozonic notes, and settles on ambroxan and musk.

• juniper: dry resinous berry, piney and gin-like
• patchouli: dark and earthy with a sweet edge, somewhere between damp soil and a second-hand bookshop

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.
