Maison Alhambra Porto Neroli

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on neroli, lemon and mandarin orange, moves through orange blossom, lavender and sea salt, and settles on herbal notes, amber and wormwood.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• 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.
