Ace of base notes

As the price made us expect a one note wonder, we’re really impressed by this perfume. It’s quite sweet at first, with notes of cassis, plum, iris and tuberose, but that dries down to complex and warming base notes of patchouli, as well as chocolate, coffee and liquorice. Lovely for autumn. Iris & Wild Cassis Eau de Toilette, £14.50, Bronnley, www.bronnley.co.uk
