By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot open with a slightly tart fruit-citrus crackle, more grown-up than sweet. The heart opens out into jasmine and ylang-ylang — a creamy, indolic white-floral pairing that sits at the center of the composition.
Vanilla and heliotrope soften the base into something powdery and almond-adjacent, with musk holding the seams together. It reads as a feminine evening floral with enough sweetness to feel inviting and enough white-floral body to project. Comfortable in cooler weather where the heart can hold its shape without going syrupy.
