By the editors · 2 min readA bright, almost tart citrus opening — grapefruit and orange — is cut by violet leaf's metallic green and the dark, syrupy tang of black currant. It's an opening that wants attention without quite shouting, more tailored than coquettish.
Jasmine carries the heart almost on its own, surprisingly fleshy under the cover of all those fruits. Then amberwood and cedar settle in faster than you'd expect, lending a dry-papery warmth that takes the fragrance somewhere more grown-up than the Be Delicious lineup usually goes.
It's sleek and a little severe — designed for evening but at home in a Friday office. Sillage is closer than the citrus opening suggests; it leans in rather than projects.
