By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant lands tart and slightly green, its syrupy edge clipped by bergamot’s brisk citrus. The heart folds lavender’s cool, herbal spike into jasmine’s creamy petals, while pink pepperpepper flickers metallic heat that keeps the flowers from turning sweet. As the base settles, vetiver smokes like dry grass over amber’s soft resin, both cushioned by clean white musk that drifts close to skin. Transition is swift: the fruity top collapses within twenty minutes, leaving a grey-green aromatic haze that lingers for five hours with modest arm-length sillage. Cool spring or early-fall days, office-safe, never cloying.
