V'E for women

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sunny honeyed flowers like mimosa and ylang-ylang.

It opens on aldehydes, green notes and african orange flower, moves through narcissus, rose and ylang-ylang, and settles on oak moss, sandalwood and heliotrope.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb

It lasts an average amount of time and carries into a room.

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