Parfums De Marly Safanad

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on pear and orange, moves through orange blossom, ylang-ylang and iris, and settles on vanilla, amber and sandalwood.

• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness
• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon

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.
