Y L'Elixir

Mostly sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on lavender, moves through geranium, and settles on frankincense and oud.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• geranium: green rosy leaf, sharper and more minty than rose itself

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.
