By the editors · 2 min readBlackberry opens tart and slightly sweet, its jammy facet sharpened by grapefruit's bitter zest. The heart's white flowers add a clean, soap-like lift that keeps the fruit from turning sugary, while vetiver threads an earthy green bite through the composition. Cedarwood in the base steadies the accord with dry pencil-shaving wood, letting the blackberry hover above skin rather than collapse into jam. As it settles, the scent stays close, projecting a quiet bramble-leaf freshness for three to four hours before fading to a soft cedar skin musk. Office-friendly and spring-weight, it reads like crushed leaves on damp woodland paths rather than dessert.
