By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot open with a fruity-citrus brightness that is immediately engaging — the black currant adds a sharp, slightly tangy quality and the lemon reinforces the citrus freshness. The opening is familiar but well-executed.
Jasmine and orange blossom form a clean white-floral heart with patchouli providing earthy depth beneath them. The patchouli's influence is subtle but meaningful — it prevents the white florals from reading as merely pretty, adding a darker, earthier counter-texture.
Amber in the base is warm and resinous, giving the dry-down Oriental warmth beneath the floral structure. The overall impression is a citrus-top white-floral-chypre with amber warmth — a classic structure executed cleanly. Suits a wide range of occasions, best in cool to warm weather.
