Opium

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on cloves, pepper and coriander, moves through carnation, cinnamon and sandalwood, and settles on incense, myrrh and sandalwood.

• clove: hot, numbing spice with a medicinal edge, like a dentist's surgery in the best case
• pepper: dry and warming, like freshly cracked black pepper

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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