By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint and clary sage create a cool aromatic opening, fresh and slightly herbal upon initial spray. Plum adds a dark fruity sweetness that contrasts with the green top notes, creating an intriguing tension. Black currant and rose form a fruity-floral heart, where the currant's tartness balances the rose's floralcy. Patchouli provides an earthy base that grounds the composition with its rich, soil-like character. Oakmoss and incense contribute a smoky mossy quality, adding depth and a resinous undertone to the dry-down. Labdanum and white musk soften the base with a warm musky sweetness that persists. Projection is moderate initially but settles to an intimate radius within two hours. Suitable for fall evenings or special occasions, it offers good longevity.
