Nishane Variety

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on ginger, bergamot and pink pepper, moves through cardamom, black currant and turkish rose, and settles on vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood.

• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread
• 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.
