By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and clove open with a striking combination — the tart, catty sharpness of the black currant colliding with the dry, spiced heat of clove. This is not a gentle opening; both materials are assertive and their combination reads as dark and slightly medicinal.
Oud, patchouli, and musk form a base that doubles down on darkness and depth. Oud brings its distinctive woody-animalic character; patchouli adds earthy, resinous body; musk rounds and softens. The base is dense and lasting.
This is an uncompromising dark oriental — black currant and clove over oud and patchouli creates a rich, spiced, woody composition that demands cooler temperatures and confident wearing. Not for casual or warm-weather contexts.
