Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on bergamot, moves through plum and rose, and settles on amber, leather and vanilla.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• plum: dark sweet fruit, almost wine-like

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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