Xerjoff Shooting Stars Lua

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on melon, orange and bergamot, moves through iris, rose and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on musk, vanilla and patchouli.

• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and carries into a room.

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