By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant snaps open with a tart, slightly bitter green edge that cardamom’s camphor-cool spice immediately softens, creating a tangy-herbal top note that feels like crushed leaves still holding morning dew. Jasmine enters clean and transparent, stretching the fruit’s acidity into a sheer floral veil while letting the mossy undercurrent rise early, so the heart smells like berry-stained linen laid on wet stones. As skin warms, vetiver’s dry grass smoke and cedar’s pencil-sharp wood draw the moisture away, letting oakmoss expand into a cool, loamy cushion that smells softly mineral rather than heavy. The dry-down stays crisp: woody, faintly fruity, edged with moss, projecting arm’s-length for six hours before settling into a cotton-close green aura. Spring and fall days, office or weekend wander, thrive on its quiet outdoorsy balance.
