Nishane Deziro

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on mandarin, sea notes and ambrox super, moves through mint, cypriol and star anise, and settles on ambrettolide, haitian vetiver and sandalwood.

• sea notes: a general salt-and-air impression, invented rather than extracted
• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite

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.
