Nishane Ambra Calabria

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on bergamot, green leaves and galbanum, moves through coriander and jasmine, and settles on amber, vanilla and musk.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• galbanum: intensely green resin, bitter and sappy, like a snapped plant stem

It lasts well 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.
