Rasasi Brilliant Bronze

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on cardamom, ambergris and bergamot, moves through violet and patchouli, and settles on sandalwood, leather and oud.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• ambergris: a warm, salty, faintly animal sweetness. Historically from whales, now almost always recreated in a lab

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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