M Mink Byredo

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, fizzy and clean, the effervescent quality that makes classic perfumes smell like perfume.

It opens on aldehydes and incense, moves through honey and incense, and settles on amber, honey and incense.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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