WoodyWhat does Chelsea Staircase smell like?
It opens with lemon and Earl Grey tea, a bright, faintly bitter start. The heart brings fabric, honey and sunflower: honey adds a soft sweetness, sunflower a floral warmth, and fabric a clean, synthetic feel. Musk and metal sit in the base, while spicy, woody, resinous and earthy accords add a leathery depth in the background. Vero Profumo Onda (Eau de Parfum) and Screaming Mandrake Perfumes Arcane have a close profile.
