Muhareb Day

Aldehydes give the top a sparkling lift, carrying orange blossom, white peach and bergamot, with cardamom and cinnamon warming the edges. The heart is lighter, lily-of-the-valley and elemi over a smooth layer of bourbon vanilla. The drydown is sweet and woody: candied almond, praline and vanilla, with guaiac wood, akigalawood, tonka and musk underneath.

Its character is bright and sweet, sunny at the start and comforting by the end. Wear it through the day, at work, lunches or weekends, when you want something cheerful with substance. It moves easily into early evening too, and a couple of sprays at the neck and wrists is all it needs.
