Parfums De Marly Darley

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

It opens on mint, bergamot and amalfi lemon, moves through lavender, cinnamon and african orange flower, and settles on tonka bean, sandalwood and amber.

• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite
• 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 sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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