Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Silver

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on juniper berries, nutmeg and bergamot, moves through coriander, and settles on musk, woody notes and cedar.

• juniper: dry resinous berry, piney and gin-like
• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet

It lasts well 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.
