By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, slightly dark fruitiness that contrasts against the softer florals waiting beneath. It's brief but sets an unexpected edge before the heart takes over.
Magnolia, heliotrope, and freesia together form a powdery, lightly sweet floral heart. Heliotrope in particular pulls the composition toward a soft, almost almond-like warmth, giving the flowers an indoor, intimate character rather than a fresh garden one.
Sandalwood, myrrh, and cedar in the base deepen the composition with a resinous, gently balsamic drydown. The overall profile is a warm powdery floral with woody resin support — quiet in projection and suited to cooler months.
