Prada La Femme Absolu

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 peach, chili pepper and blood orange, moves through orange blossom, neroli and broom, and settles on tolu balsam and vanilla.

• peach: soft and sweet with a fuzzy edge, more like the skin than the juice
• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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