By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and bergamot open with a sharp, slightly jammy brightness — tart without being aggressive. The currant has a distinctive cat-fur edge that gives the opening personality before the rose takes over.
The heart is a clear, fairly classical rose — neither dewy nor powdered, just rose with some natural waxiness. Guaiac wood enters quietly beneath it, adding a faintly smoky, pencil-shaving texture that keeps the rose from reading as purely cosmetic.
Sandalwood and musk in the dry-down are creamy without being heavy. The overall effect is a fruit-fronted rose that lands somewhere between garden and boudoir — direct, uncomplicated, and reasonably wearable across contexts.
