By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant provides a tart, fruity opening that is both juicy and slightly green. Lavender swiftly takes center stage, offering a clean aromatic quality that tempers the fruitiness. This lavender heart acts as a bridge to the earthy base notes, maintaining a fresh yet grounded character. Vetiver and patchouli contribute a dry, rooty texture that adds depth without overwhelming the composition. Musk lingers in the background, providing a soft skin-scent quality that enhances wearability. The scent remains relatively linear after the top notes fade, projecting moderately for the first hour before settling close. Best suited for casual daytime wear in spring or summer, it offers decent longevity for an aromatic fragrance.
