A bright fruit and citrus opening sits over a drier tea and wood finish. That balance depends a lot on skin, so a 10 ml decant is a sensible way to learn how it behaves on you before you think about a 50 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, Pineapple, Mango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Ginger, Cinnamon, Tunisian Neroli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Tea, Guaiac Wood, Rosemary, Ambroxan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe fruit comes first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn skin the opening is quick: lemon, bergamot and orange for the citrus, pineapple and mango for ripe, golden fruit. It is juicy and warm rather than sharp.
