Prada Amber

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on neroli, cardamom and bergamot, moves through myrrh, musk and orange blossom, and settles on saffron, vanilla and labdanum.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

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.
