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 apple, ginger and bergamot, moves through sage, juniper berries and geranium, and settles on amberwood, tonka bean and cedar.

• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts well and carries into a room.
