By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, almost wine-like tang that immediately stains the skin with deep purple fruit. Jasmine and osmanthus fold into rose within minutes, the trio forming a creamy, lactonic white-floral heart that blunts the currant’s edge while magnolia hovers like cool steam. Vanilla and cedar arrive early, weaving moss into a soft, suede-like cushion that keeps the florals from floating away. During the dry-down sandalwood warms the vanilla, turning the accord into a milky wood that radiates two inches off skin for six hours. The composition stays cool-toned and polite, projecting just enough to be noticed across a desk yet intimate enough for close conversation. Spring office days, cool humid mornings, and travel where restraint matters.
