Charming
A clean-feeling, slightly old-fashioned floral that opens on a tart black currant — fruity but never syrupy — laid against a faint aldehydic glow that gives the start a polished, slightly retro shimmer.

By the editors · 2 min readA clean-feeling, slightly old-fashioned floral that opens on a tart black currant — fruity but never syrupy — laid against a faint aldehydic glow that gives the start a polished, slightly retro shimmer.
The heart is a tidy bouquet of jasmine, ylang and rose, the jasmine soft-indolic, the ylang adding banana-creamy lift, the rose gently velvet. The flowers feel like a posy in a glass — well-arranged rather than wild — with a quiet yellow-floral warmth running through the centre.
The base of sandalwood, cedar and musk lends a creamy, slightly powdered close, the cedar adding a thin woody spine. Overall the impression is a soft, classically-shaped feminine — fruit, flower, wood — friendly, easy, and intentionally undemanding to wear.
