Saharienne

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on bergamot, petitgrain and pink pepper, moves through neroli, jasmine and clary sage, and settles on musk, vetiver and patchouli.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• petitgrain: the twigs and leaves of the orange tree: green, bitter and woody, where neroli is the flower and orange the fruit

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
