Sequence

In everyday terms

Lychee and raspberry over rose and osmanthus with agarwood and leather.

Lychee

Juicy, rosy fruit, like canned lychee

Raspberry

Sweet-tart raspberry, like raspberry jam

Saffron

Warm and honey-like, a bit like the inside of a brand-new leather bag

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Osmanthus

Apricot-like flowers with a soft leathery hint

Tonka Bean

Almond-vanilla sweetness, like warm sweet bread

Agarwood

Deep, smoky oud, like the turare and bakhoor burned in Hausa homes during Sallah

Leather

Rich and smoky, like new leather shoes from Aba

Amberwood

Burnt sugar and warm wood, like the edge of caramelised puff-puff

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
