By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens tart and jammy, its ribes bite immediately sweetened by pear and praline. The heart adds guaiac wood’s smoked-tea dryness and a flash of black-pepper heat that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy, while orange blossom supplies a clean, soap-bright lift. As the spices settle, tonka and vanilla fold the woods into a creamy, almond-custard base, vetiver adding only a quiet green edge. Amber and musk warm the skin, stretching the confection into a soft, brown-sugar glow that hovers close for hours. Projection stays polite—arm’s-length at most—making it an easy daytime wear for cool fall malls or office cafeterias.
