Mancera Choco Violette

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, toasted and dry, like hazelnut or almond skin.

It opens on hazelnut, orange and bergamot, moves through dark chocolate and violet, and settles on madagascar vanilla and white musk.

• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon
• 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.
