By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart fruity sharpness that quickly softens into the floral heart. Jasmine and rose create a rich floral accord deepened by patchouli's earthy green quality. Amber provides a warm resinous foundation that blends with vanilla's creamy sweetness. Honey adds a dense golden sweetness that enhances the vanillic base without becoming cloying. The composition evolves from fruity top to floral middle before settling into a sweet amber dry-down. Moderate projection lasts five hours making it suitable for evening occasions in cooler weather.
