In everyday terms

Bergamot and orange over jasmine and orange blossom with sandalwood and patchouli.

Bergamot

Bright, fresh citrus, like the zest of a lime with a soft floral edge

Orange

Juicy, fresh orange, like peeling an orange from the roadside seller

Jasmine

The sweet white “lady of the night” flowers on compound fences

Orange Blossom

Honeyed white flowers of the orange tree

Sandalwood

Creamy, smooth wood, like sandalwood soap

Patchouli

Earthy and dark, like damp soil in a forest

Musk

Clean skin, like fresh laundry

How it wears

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