Black currant opens loud and tart, with that distinctive cassis sharpness — slightly sulfurous, almost cat-pee in the first seconds before resolving into rich purple fruit.

By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens loud and tart, with that distinctive cassis sharpness — slightly sulfurous, almost cat-pee in the first seconds before resolving into rich purple fruit. Grapefruit shimmers around it, adding a pithy citrus brightness.
With almost no defined heart, the perfume jumps quickly into raspberry — sweet, jammy, candied — over a thick patchouli base. The patchouli is the modern fruity-chouli kind, smoothed to a gleam, all gloss with very little earth. Together they form the ubiquitous purple-fruit chord, sweet and slightly sticky, with a faint sparkle of rose floating around the edges. Projection is moderate, the texture is glossy and almost lip-balm slick.
The drydown is sweet patchouli over fading berries. Familiar club-floor architecture, well-blended and easy.
