By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, almost wine-like snap that the lemon and bergamot twist into a brisk, slightly bitter citrus top. The heart is pure jasmine: green-stemmed, indolic, dominating the wear for a solid hour until the petals fold. Vanilla and tonka arrive early in the base, warming the bloom and steering it away from high-pitched white floral territory into a creamy, faintly almond dusk. Sandalwood and cedar keep a dry wood line underneath, while white musk and ambergris add a salt-skin radiance that prevents the composition from sugaring up. Projection stays at arm’s length for four hours, then settles to a soft pulse of sweet wood and musk. Cool spring evenings and air-conditioned offices suit it best; the jasmine reads crisp rather than sultry.
