By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant lands tart and jammy, a dark fruit opening that immediately stains the air. Benzoin resin seeps in within minutes, its honeyed incense thickness turning the fruit into something candied, while orange and grapefruit add thin, bright citrus ribbons that keep the sweetness from congealing. The heart stays edible: tonka folds in warm almond facets, praline delivers milk-chocolate richness, and sandalwood provides a buttery wood base that lets the gour accord linger close to skin for hours. Projection stays within handshake distance; best for cool fall days or casual indoor settings where you want to smell like dessert without shouting.
