Le Labo Neroli 36

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on orange blossom, aldehydes and mandarin orange, moves through jasmine and rose, and settles on musk, vanilla and tonka bean.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

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.
