Maison Alhambra Glacier Le Noir

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on cardamom, moves through cardamom, iris and lavender, and settles on lavender and vanilla.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• iris: cool and powdery with a rooty edge. Closer to makeup or clean laundry than to a flower

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.
