By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, juicy fruitiness that is vivid and slightly green, setting a vibrant tone. Ylang-ylang and peony introduce a lush floral heart that is creamy and slightly tropical, complementing the fruity top without overpowering it. Osmanthus provides a distinctive apricot-like richness with a subtle leathery undertone that adds depth and complexity to the floral accord. Sandalwood and cedar form a dry, woody base that offers stability and a clean, slightly creamy texture as the scent evolves. Musk anchors the composition with a soft, skin-hugging trail that emphasizes the floral-woody harmony over time. Projection remains intimate from the start, making it suitable for daytime wear in spring or summer.
