Rasasi Brilliant Silver

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on saffron and mandarin, moves through violet and jasmine, and settles on leather and cedarwood.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• violet: powdery sweet flower with a green leafy edge, much like violet sweets

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.
