By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot open with a fruity-citrus burst that is tart and slightly sweet. Ylang-ylang introduces a tropical, creamy floral heart that blends with cedar's dry woodiness. The heart accord is a contrast between floral creaminess and aromatic wood. Vetiver in the base adds an earthy, grassy quality that provides depth and structure. Vanilla contributes a sweet, soft warmth that smooths over the patchouli's earthy dryness. The dry-down is a balanced mix of sweet wood, earthy vetiver, and creamy vanilla with moderate sillage. Longevity extends for seven to eight hours, suitable for fall or winter evenings in cool weather. Evolution is gradual from fruity-floral to woody-earthy with a sweet finish.
