Mancera Cedrat Boise

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on sicilian lemon, black currant and bergamot, moves through fruity notes, patchouli leaf and water jasmine, and settles on cedar, leather and sandalwood.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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