Sunday Cologne Byredo

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on bergamot, star anise and cardamom, moves through lavender, geranium and incense, and settles on vetiver, oak moss and patchouli.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

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.
