Botanical Essence No.15, from Liz Earle was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is Alienor Massenet. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Cedarwood, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, and Sandalwood, middle notes of Benzoin, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Elemi, Rose, and Tonka Bean, and base notes of Cinnamon Leaf, Cloves, Pink Pepper, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
I really love this warm, easy going fragrance which was an unusual find for me in John Lewis. I say unusual as it was a John Lewis 'home' and doesn't normally stock cosmetic or fragrance products but this was among the few that were in store. The opening is one of fresh spices, clove, cinnamon, pink pepper and a host of other lovely stuff which is never overbearing for a second. You're immediately immersed in a softly edged vanilla, milky sandalwood, and guaic. Quite stunning really. Lasts okay and dries down to a sweet vanilla, I was reluctant to buy because there was no price on the bottle and I figured it might be expensive but I would definitely wear this delicate scent and have my eye on it.
