Rasasi Layuqawam Tobacco Blaze

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, neroli and lily-of-the-valley, moves through apricot, violet and coumarin, and settles on leather, agarwood (oud) and patchouli.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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