My Burberry

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on sweet pea, bergamot and mandarin orange, moves through quince, freesia and geranium, and settles on damask rose, rose and patchouli.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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