Rasasi Victory

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on mandarin orange and apple, moves through rose, magnolia and peony, and settles on sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend

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.
