By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, slightly green snap that bergamot sharpens into a cool, metallic-citrus edge. The fruit quickly folds into the base where white musk and moss create a humid, forest-floor cushion, letting sandalwood’s dry cream rise while cedar splinters add brittle texture. Vanilla warms the leather, softening its raw hide character into a suede that clings close to skin, so the composition stays linear: dark fruit over cool woods and cleaned leather. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it an easy daily signature for cool spring offices or rainy weekend errands.
