By the editors · 2 min readA blackberry brightness opens against patchouli — fruit and earth pressed together right from the start. Violet and rose round out the heart, the violet doing more of the lifting, the rose anchoring without dominating.
Cedar and musk in the base tighten everything down: dry-woody, slightly powdery, the patchouli reading more refined than head-shop. Black and pink pepper in the general notes add background spice. The composition feels modern-rosy rather than historical — pretty, contemporary, easy to wear. Suited to spring through fall, casual days and lighter evenings; it's a rose for people who don't want to smell like a rose.
