V pour Homme for men

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on pink pepper, tamarind and mandarin orange, moves through sandalwood, amber and mace, and settles on vanilla, cacao and amber.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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