Seven Veils by Byredo

*****
Year: 2011

Notes: pimento berry, carrot, Laurier rose, tiger orchid, Tahitian vanilla flower, glycine, vanilla, Indian sandalwood
Influenced by the biblical tale of Salome's Dance of the Seven Veils, Seven Veils is a spicy-oriental built around vanilla flower, vanilla and sandalwood.

Exuding peppery rose overtones, one gets the distinct impression that it's already been done before. With hints of ginger, there's also a mild cola beverage aroma that unwantedly intensifies over time. As for the drydown, the vanilla is sheer and the sandalwood is disappointingly anaemic.

As always with this house, diffusion is moderate but its tenacity is below average.
