Mirages Soleil au Zenith

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 peach and ylang-ylang, moves through sandalwood, and settles on cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.

• peach: soft and sweet with a fuzzy edge, more like the skin than the juice
• ylang-ylang: rich yellow flower, sweet and faintly banana-like with a creamy finish

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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