By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and freesia open tart and slightly green, the black currant giving a small sulphurous bite that the freesia softens with a watery floral lift. The opening reads cool and fruity rather than sweet.
The heart pivots into patchouli and rose — patchouli more prominent than the rose, earth and resin wrapping the floral rather than the other way around. The contrast between the dewy top and the darker middle is the main movement.
Ambroxan, vanilla and musk smooth the base into a warm musky-amber close, ambroxan adding clean salty shimmer, vanilla a gentle sweetness. Overall character is a musky rose-patchouli with a fruity opening — cool-weather, steady through the wear.
