Notes: citrus, green notes, cardamom, gorse
Gorse is an interesting but unusual spicy-citrus concoction, based on a shrub closely related to broom.
With an introductory blast of alcohol, the citrus eventually reveals itself alongside what smells like the contents of a bag of liquorice allsorts. After the citrus dissipates, the sweet spicy aspect rises and then falls (in terms of intensity), leaving both a creamy and slightly chalky drydown redolent of coconut nougat.
UK-based Laboratory Perfumes takes its inspiration from "the flora of the English countryside", but one is quite puzzled as to how Gorse and Amber possess any direct olfactory connection to such a concept. However, with regards to longevity and sillage, both are respectable.
