Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 Pour Elle

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on violet leaf and cloves, moves through cedar and iris, and settles on musk, amber and patchouli.

• violet leaf: green and dewy with a cucumber-like coolness. Nothing like the sweetness of violet flowers
• clove: hot, numbing spice with a medicinal edge, like a dentist's surgery in the best case

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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