Parfums De Marly Hamdani

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on olibanum and myrhh, moves through guaiac wood, honey and cloves, and settles on leather, styrax and papyrus.

• olibanum: frankincense: dry resinous smoke with a citrus lift. Usually worth naming as frankincense instead
• guaiac wood: smoky, tarry wood with a soft sweetness, like the smell left after a campfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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