By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with its signature tart-purple zing, slightly catty in the first minutes before the florals take over. Jasmine, peony, and rose layer into a soft, slightly powdery bouquet — the rose in the lead, neither dewy nor jammy, more like petals warmed by skin.
The drydown is where the perfume settles into its register: vanilla and tonka lay down a creamy sweetness, amber rounds the edges with a balsamic glow, and musk pulls everything close. There's a marshmallow-soft quality to the late hours, but with enough rose lingering to keep it floral rather than dessert-shaped.
Overall character: a sweet floral-amber, plush and feminine, projecting at arm's length and leaving a powdery vanillic trail.
