Xerjoff Shooting Stars Starlight

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on cardamom and bergamot, moves through cinnamon, almond and cloves, and settles on amber and cedar.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• 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.
