Sweet citrus with lavender hit first, then raspberry candy - quite sweet and musky into summer green as the sweetness goes quite quickly into sharpish fruity/chypre notes.
Tones of sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss developing an almost salty (vetiver) caramel at the end.

The Great Randello
"The perfume's creator, Sarah McCartney, chose to name The Great Randello after both her husband and a Welsh magician, while each ingredient is inspired by a travelling circus.An unusual pool of inspiration, granted, but each note follows and logical path.
A citrus accord for the acrobats; oakmoss pathouli chypre heart for the dense big-top atmosphere; strawberry caramel for a clown’s tricks; and woods for the ringmaster who keeps it all under control."

Tom Daxon is one of the brightest names among young British perfumers. He grew up in an atmosphere of olfactory creativity, his mother being for 30 years a fragrance chemist and creative director. As a child Tom would customarily accompany her on business trips to Grasse and it was in this legendary perfume capital that he first met his current collaborators Jacques Chabert and his daughter Carla.
The Chaberts have created for Chanel, Guerlain and L'Oreal: they remain independent perfumers, personally buying and quality-testing all their raw materials. They collaborate with Tom in what is essentially a family intimacy and smoothly integrated partnership.
Tom's inspirations are translated by father and daughter into a series of dazzling fragrances, at a leisurely pace and with no consideration of marketing plans or focus groups. The emotional or celebral appeal of individual oils and Tom Daxon's own personal preferences are the influences which give birth to this highly individual and beautiful Collection. All the fragrances are blended in Grasse and come in eau de parfum strength, mixed to concentrations of between 14-16%.

Olfactive family: Citrus.
Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, green apple, hyacinth, cedar wood.
Hyacinch and green apple with subtle citrus - mainly a sweetened bergamot. White musk comes through as the skin warms and the cedar. At the very end you are reminded again of the green apple Cologne freshness.
No. 18 Bogota Berlin

Olfactive family: Green.
Notes: Bergamot, pepper, violet leaves, fig, vetiver, cedar wood.
Very green where vetiver and cedar dominate with powder-peppery highlights. The fig addition is clever as its light fruitiness is diffused throughout. Take up a handfull of the freshest spring leaves and crush them in your hands and you will get an idea of Bogota Berlin.
