By the editors · 2 min readBlackberry launches first, its tart berry acidity sheared of sugar, so the opening feels almost wine-like against skin. Bulgarian rose enters immediately, swapping the sharp fruit for a dewy, lightly spiced petal softness that keeps the composition translucent rather than lush. Sandalwood follows, adding a dry, cream-toned wood that quiets the rose and soaks up the last berry stain. Amber in the base does not arrive sweet or heavy; it acts as a muted, resinous skin-scent filter that extends the wood’s pale glow for hours. The wear stays close, a quiet skin veil with polite projection arm-length at most, ideal for office days when you want a personal rose that won’t fill the elevator. Expect six hours of gentle woody-rosy presence, best in mild spring or early fall weather.
