Maison Alhambra Glacier Bella

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on bergamot, lemon and mandarin, moves through black cherry, bran and orange blossom, and settles on bergamot, cassis and freesia.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

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.
