Rasasi Junoon Velvet Pour Femme

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on rose, black currant and tomato leaf, moves through patchouli, sandalwood and olibanum, and settles on benzoin, musk and amber.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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