Ultrared

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on blood orange, moves through praline and tonka bean, and settles on vanilla and patchouli.

• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness
• praline: caramelised nuts and sugar, straight out of a confectioner's

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.
