What does Assaf Sherlock smell like?
Assaf Sherlock puts a resin in its opening: Italian bergamot and orange blossom are joined by labdanum, which brings a warm, leathery amber note right at the start. The bergamot is bright and the orange blossom honeyed and floral. Cardamom and Ambroxan follow in the heart, one aromatic and spicy, the other woody, mineral and slightly salty.
Sandalwood and musk form a soft, smooth base. Sandalwood adds creamy wood and musk a skin-like softness, which suits the Ambroxan above it. The style is a warm, resinous, woody scent with a floral-citrus start, lightly spiced by cardamom. The balance is between the bright bergamot and the amber-woody body, which carries most of the weight.
Who is Assaf Sherlock for?
Resin, spice and sandalwood add up to a smooth, warm, slightly dry woody scent that is not heavily sweet, a likely match for wearers who prefer that profile. The shop tags it for autumn and winter, and for daily wear and evening. Unisex is the listed audience.
