By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with a brisk, sunlit sparkle that feels like chilled mineral water flicked onto skin. Within minutes the citrus sheen is swallowed by black currant's tart purple berry juice, its leafy edge keeping the jasmine and rose from turning sugary; instead the florals read as translucent petals floating on the fruit. As the accord dries, white musk pulls the composition into clean skin territory while a quiet amber glow warms the background, never sweetening enough to register as resin. The scent stays close, projecting only a soft halo for about four hours before collapsing into a faint musk-laundered T-shirt smell. Bright and office-friendly, it works best in spring and summer heat when its airy transparency won't vanish.
