By the editors · 2 min readMemories Chasing Butterflies opens on a tart blackcurrant note that smells more like jam than fruit — sweet and slightly green at once. The lime blossom in the heart pulls it sideways into something honeyed and faintly herbal, with an indistinct white-floral haze around it.
The base is the point of the composition: vanilla rounded out by ambrette, which gives it a soft musky-vegetal texture rather than the flat sweetness of a straight vanilla drydown. The blackcurrant lingers as a sticky impression behind the warmth for longer than you'd expect.
It reads young and uncomplicated — a casual-wear fruity floral with enough ambrette warmth to carry into cooler evenings. Not a complex fragrance, but the ambrette keeps it from feeling generic.
