Paris Premieres Roses

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on orange blossom and violet, moves through muguet, rose and violet, and settles on cedar.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• violet: powdery sweet flower with a green leafy edge, much like violet sweets

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
