The One Royal Night

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cardamom and basil, moves through nutmeg and pear wood, and settles on amber, sandalwood and cedar.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• basil: green peppery herb, straight out of a kitchen

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.
