By the editors · 2 min readApple and black currant create a tart, juicy opening that feels crisp and slightly sweet against bergamot’s metallic citrus edge. Papyrus enters quickly, adding a dry, papery greenness that mutes the fruit sugars and pulls the scent toward something more neutral and textural. The base folds vanilla’s soft creaminess into oakmoss’s cool, earthy fuzz, while musk supplies a clean skin-level hum that keeps the vanilla from turning gourmand. Over three hours the fruit dims, leaving a pale moss-vanilla skin veil with only a faint green rustle from the papyrus ghost. Projection stays polite, a one-foot aura perfect for office air-conditioning or spring brunch outdoors.
