Mancera Lovely Garden

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on pink pepper, cinnamon and blood mandarin, moves through turkish rose, tuberose and orange blossom, and settles on toffee, powdery notes and incense.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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