Nishane Favonious

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on litchi, incense and pink pepper, moves through rose, cypriol oil or nagarmotha and clary sage, and settles on agarwood (oud), incense and patchouli.

• litchi: light, watery and floral-sweet, a little like rose-flavoured sweets
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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