By the editors · 2 min readMelon and black currant open with a contrast of watery freshness from the melon and a tart, dark fruitiness from the black currant. The combination is bright and slightly unusual before the floral-spice heart unfolds.
Cinnamon and clove provide a warm spiced layer over jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose — the spices dominating the heart with notable persistence. The florals are present but clearly secondary to the spice structure.
Oakmoss and musk in the base bring a classic, slightly green-earthy dry-down. The overall character is a fruity-floral with significant spice — the cinnamon and clove driving the mid-section clearly and giving the fragrance a warm, slightly festive quality. Suited to cooler months.
