By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant lands first, tart and jammy, pulling the citrus into a sweet-sour swirl that feels like candied orange peel dusted with sugar. Lemon adds a brief sparkle, then retreats as the vanilla heart arrives early, thick and creamy, folding the darker berry into a soft milk-caramel accord that sits close to skin. No florals, woods, or spices interrupt; the composition stays linear, simply trading brightness for custard as the minutes pass. By dry-down it is a pale vanilla pod with a faint purple-fruit stain, projecting no farther than forearm distance. Office-safe, summer through early fall, best when heat can lift the citrus and humidity can blur the edges into skin.
