Oud For Happiness

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on bergamot and ginger, moves through licorice, agarwood (oud) and cedar, and settles on vanilla, herbal notes and musk.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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