By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant snaps open with a tart, slightly sulfurous edge that quickly folds into a plush yellow-floral heart where ylang-ylang dominates, its banana-like creaminess coating jasmine and a soft, tea-stained rose. The trio keeps a low seam of indolic sweetness that prevents the top from ever feeling fully dry. Sandalwood arrives early, bringing a buttery, milk-pink wood that blurs the florals into one continuous, satiny ribbon. Ambergris and amber add a saline, skin-warm glow rather than heft, so the base feels like flushed skin after a summer walk rather than a heavy oriental blanket. Projection stays within conversation distance for six hours, then collapses to a quiet wood-musk hum that still telegraphs yellow blossoms on clothing the next morning.
