Mancera Instant Crush

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on saffron, ginger and sicilian mandarin, moves through amberwood, moroccan rose and egyptian jasmine, and settles on madagascar vanilla, white musk and sandalwood.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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