My Euphoria

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on black currant, moves through orchid, sesame and tuberose, and settles on sandalwood, agarwood (oud) and bamboo.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• orchid: soft and lightly creamy. More an idea than a smell, since most orchids barely scent at all, so what you smell is a perfumer's invention

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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