Xeryus

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on lavender, jasmine and green notes, moves through cypress, juniper berries and carnation, and settles on oakmoss, balsam fir and leather.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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