What does Porcelain Pulse smell like?

The top holds carrot, rhubarb, pear, cardamom and black tea, with citrus and fruity accords keeping the start lively. In the heart, Darjeeling tea, peony, lily and dried apricot turn it sweeter and creamier. The base of vetiver, tobacco, musk, hay and amber leaves an earthy, lightly gourmand finish.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: present without being loud. The balance of fresh and sweet suits men and women alike. Laboratory Perfumes Gorse and Roja Parfums A Midsummer Dream have a close profile.
