By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a sharp citrus crackle, the grapefruit slightly bitter and the bergamot adding a sweeter shimmer. The first impression is clean and modern, with a peppery edge already detectable underneath.
Black currant adds a tart-fruity bite to the heart while orange blossom and peony soften the centre into a fresh floral. There is a slight greenish soda-pop quality through the middle, with the cassis brightness keeping things lively.
The base is amber, patchouli, and musk for a warm woody-musky finish, the patchouli giving a chewy modern depth. The overall character is a fresh floral-fruity with a contemporary woody-musk dryout, polished and cosmopolitan, suited to daytime to early evening wear.
