By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and grapefruit open with a tart, slightly medicinal edge, the fruit sharpness cutting cleanly before jasmine and lily of the valley arrive to soften things into a cool floral middle. The transition is relatively quick, and the heart reads transparent rather than lush.
Leather and olibanum begin asserting themselves early, giving the composition a resinous, slightly smoky backbone. Patchouli and amber deepen the base without muddying it, while vanilla rounds the edges. The overall result is a fruity-floral with genuine leather underneath — not decorative but structural, adding a dry, almost austere tension to the sweeter elements.
Wears with moderate projection and suits cooler evenings.
