Nishane Afrika Olifant

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on myrhh, ambergris and olibanum, moves through castoreum, civet and leather, and settles on synthetic civet and musk.

• ambergris: a warm, salty, faintly animal sweetness. Historically from whales, now almost always recreated in a lab
• olibanum: frankincense: dry resinous smoke with a citrus lift. Usually worth naming as frankincense instead

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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