By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant snaps open with tart, almost catty green bite that quickly folds into a white floral wave. Jasmine dominates the heart, its indolic creaminess amplified by ylang-ylang’s banana sweetness while orange blossom injectes soap-lift and rose keeps the bouquet rounded. The base swaps flowers for incense-driven dryness: frankincense and patchouli share a peppery, resinous smoke that dries the sandalwood into a clean, blond wood instead of creamy. Over two hours the currant recedes, letting the incense rise, yet the white florals refuse to vanish, creating a cool, church-pew haze softened by lingering tropical hints. Projection stays polite, floating about arm-length for six hours before it collapses to skin. Cool spring evenings, smart-casual dinners, travel-friendly.
