Rasasi Hawas Elixir

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on mint, bergamot and artemisia, moves through lavender, dark chocolate and benzoin, and settles on vanilla, tonka bean and white musk.

• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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