M7

Mostly dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on rosemary, mandarin orange and bergamot, moves through agarwood (oud) and vetiver, and settles on amber and musk.

• rosemary: sharp piney herb, cooling and slightly medicinal
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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