By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant bursts first, a tart purple snap that drags orange and bergamot into juicy brightness. Gardenia, tuberose, jasmine and ylang-ylang fuse into one creamy, banana-tinged white-floral heart, thick enough to quiet the fruit yet still letting a faint currant shadow linger. Hours later, amber warms the petals into a soft, skin-hug musk that smells like sun on cotton rather than heavy oriental velvet. Projection stays polite, a handshake radius that lasts a full workday before folding into a clean, faintly sweet skin whisper. Office-safe spring through early fall; humidity makes the white flowers bloom louder.
