Sedbury for women

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on clary sage, lavender and tangerine, moves through tuberose, jasmine and iris, and settles on benzoin, vanilla and ambergris.

• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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