My Burberry Festive Eau de Parfum for women

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on sweet pea, bourbon geranium and bergamot, moves through freesia and quince, 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
• freesia: light peppery flower, fresh and a little soapy

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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