Nishane Nanshe

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on carrot seeds, cardamom and yuzu, moves through rose, floral notes and water fruit, and settles on powdery notes, orris and musk.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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