Black currant snaps open with a tart, leafy edge that quickly folds into creamy ylang-ylang, its banana-like sweetness lifting the dark fruit while ivy injects a cool, crushed-stem bitterness that keeps the heart from turning syrupy.

By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant snaps open with a tart, leafy edge that quickly folds into creamy ylang-ylang, its banana-like sweetness lifting the dark fruit while ivy injects a cool, crushed-stem bitterness that keeps the heart from turning syrupy. As the florals relax, sandalwood steps forward, dry and milky, braided with labdanum’s resinous amber and a clean white musk that flattens the earlier brightness into a soft, sun-bleached woods skin scent. The transition is seamless: fruity brightness → green-tinted white floral → pale woody musk, projecting no farther than arm’s length and fading to a suede-quiet whisper within four hours. Quietly tropical without coconut or suntan clichés, it works best in warm weather, casual daywear or a low-key beach evening when you want subtle, palm-shade freshness.
