By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, jammy snap that bergamot citrifies into a fizzy, neon-fruity glare. The heart lands a sun-warmed apricot, its fuzzy skin fuzz translating into a velvety, lactonic sweetness that softens the initial sour bite and folds the composition toward a creamy glow. Sandalwood and cedar in the base stay light, letting the fruit linger rather than burying it; the woods read as pale, dry staves that steady the apricot’s sugars without darkening them. Over three hours the currant recedes, the apricot ripens into a mellow, peach-like skin scent, and the cedar keeps a clean, blonde timber edge. Projection stays polite, a forearm’s reach, ideal for warm spring days or bright casual offices where fruit won’t shout.
