By the editors · 2 min readBrocard's pairing of tomato and black currant leaves sounds botanical on paper, but what emerges is bracingly tart and green—closer to crushed stems than fruit. The tomato leaf announces itself immediately with that bruised, sun-warmed vegetal sharpness gardeners know well, while the black currant adds a resinous, almost catty edge that feels wild rather than cultivated. Together they read as intensely herbaceous, slightly bitter, more hedgerow than flower bed.
As it settles, the composition softens into something mustier and earthier, though it never loses that raw, sap-on-fingers quality. There's a faint woody dryness underneath that keeps it from feeling too literal or gimmicky, but this remains firmly in the realm of green fragrances that prioritize realism over polish.
Best suited to those who find conventional florals too sweet and want their perfume to smell like an afternoon spent handling plants. It's frank, singular, and unapologetically verdant—more about evoking a specific sensory memory than broad wearability.
