By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a tart, jammy black currant against bergamot — the cassis already pushing toward a faintly sulphurous, fruity-green sparkle that's a touch metallic in the best way.
Apple arrives crisp and slightly watery in the heart, with a cool peppermint twist that keeps the fruit from going syrupy and adds an unexpectedly aerated quality. The whole midrange reads bright, slightly aquatic, and clean. Then ambroxan and patchouli take over in the base — the ambroxan throwing that wide salty-mineral aura, the patchouli darkening it just enough to lend grip. Musk smooths everything into a polished, slightly metallic dry-down. Projection is strong early, settling moderate; longevity is solid for the genre.
Overall a fresh-fruity-aromatic with that radiant clean-musk-and-amber finish — engineered for compliments.
