By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens tart and slightly fruity, but it's a brief flash before the heart takes over. The opening doesn't linger — the structure is clearly weighted toward the iris-led middle.
The heart is built around orris, joined by jasmine, rose, and cashmeran. Orris brings its rooty, cool, slightly carrot-and-suede powder, while cashmeran adds a velvety wood-musk cushion. Jasmine and rose stay supportive, lifting the iris rather than competing with it.
Ambergris, vanilla, and musk in the base land warm and softly powdered — vanilla smooths the iris's coolness, ambergris adds a faint salt-skin glow, and musk extends the longevity. Overall: an iris-floral with a creamy-powdered finish, refined and slightly retro, well suited to office wear and cool-weather days.
