What the picks smell like
Olfactive Studio Iris Shot (2019) reads as powdery creamy iris, spiced with cardamom, opening on iris aldehyde and French blackcurrant bud absolute and drying down to ambroxan, Virginia cedar and Haitian vetiver. Olfactive Studio Lumière Blanche (2012) is described as creamy almond milk warmed by cinnamon spice, with cardamom and star anise up top and sandalwood, cedarwood and tonka bean underneath. On Olfactive Studio Still Life in Rio (Eau de Parfum, 2016), expect cool citrus, minty spice, creamy rum air; it starts with lemon and ginger and settles on rum, white leather and Brazilian copaiba balsam.
