Parfums De Marly Byerley

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on cardamom and bergamot, moves through guaiac wood and cedar, and settles on vetiver and resin.

• 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.
