Xerjoff Decas

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on calabrian mandarin, tuberose and tobacco, moves through benzoin, opoponax and italian orris root, and settles on resin, bourbon vanilla and musk.

• tuberose: a big creamy white flower, buttery and close to overwhelming
• tobacco: dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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