By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot introduce a tart, juicy fruity opening that is both bright and slightly green. Patchouli rises quickly, its earthy and slightly damp character contrasting with the crisp top notes. Rose blooms in the heart, offering a soft floral counterpoint that tempers the patchouli's depth. Vanilla and musk form a warm, creamy base that gradually sweetens the composition without becoming cloying. The dry-down blends earthy patchouli residue with musky vanilla, creating a cozy and slightly powdery skin scent. This evolves linearly over four to five hours with intimate projection, ideal for evening dates in cooler weather.
