Weekend

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on mignonette, mandarin orange and sage, moves through nectarine, blue hyacinth and peach blossom, and settles on musk, sandalwood and cedar.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• sage: dry silvery herb, cooling with a bitter edge

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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