Velvet Haze Byredo

Mostly soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own. Underneath that, dark, earthy and slightly sweet, the classic seventies note.

It opens on coconut, hibiscus and bergamot, moves through patchouli, tuberose and osmanthus, and settles on patchouli, musk and cacao pod.

• coconut: creamy and sweet, with a suncream quality
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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