By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and black currant deliver a bold, tart fruity opening that is vibrant and slightly candied. Peony introduces a soft floral heart that balances the initial sweetness with feminine lightness. Leather and amber in the base add a rugged, resinous depth, while white musk smooths the transition to a clean finish. The scent evolves from bright top to dark, animalic dry-down over a few hours. Projection is strong initially but becomes more moderate and subdued after the first hour. Longevity is excellent at eight hours or more, suited for fall and winter evenings or formal events.
