By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot open with a tart, slightly dark edge — not quite fruity in a cheerful sense, but acidic and cool. Black pepper arrives quickly, adding a dry spice that prevents the opening from softening too early.
Damask and standard rose dominate the heart alongside freesia, which keeps things from reading as a classic rose soliflore. The rose here is bright but not powdery, supported by pepper rather than traditional supporting woods.
Ambergris and musk in the base provide a clean, skin-warm finish with just enough lift from the amber to extend wear. The overall character is a fresh-spiced rose — wearable in warm weather, leaning feminine without being exclusively so.
