Xerjoff Aurum

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on bulgarian rose, brazilian orange and calabrian bergamot, moves through chocolate, strawberry and labdanum, and settles on agarwood (oud), madagascar vanilla and oakmoss.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• 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.
