By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, berry-like fruitiness that is both vivid and slightly green. Raspberry amplifies the fruity core while jasmine introduces a floral richness, complemented by powdery violet and romantic rose. The absence of base notes results in a lightweight composition that remains focused on its fruity-floral theme throughout its wear. Sillage is intimate from the start, making this a close-wearing scent that lasts for a few hours. It is best suited for casual daytime occasions in spring, where its bright and cheerful character feels most appropriate.
