By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, slightly green edge that bergamot sharpens into a cool, citric snap. Narcissus steps in early, its waxy yellow floral pollen dusting the fruit, while bamboo adds a hollow, watery green stalk that keeps the heart airy rather than lush. The dry-down softens the narcissus wax through tonka bean’s soft almond-like coumarin, laying it over clean cedar shavings so the floral never turns heavy. Projection stays polite, a skin-close veil that lasts office-day hours, best in cool spring or early fall when the green bamboo note can read as rain on foliage.
