By the editors · 2 min readThe composition opens on a single bold gesture: blackberry, dark and slightly stewed, with a tart-skinned freshness underneath. There is a deceptive simplicity to it, as the fruit reads almost like a jam reduction rather than a fresh berry.
With only one declared note, the development feels mostly linear, though the prior suggests a fruity-violet shading and a soft caramelised edge that lends a slight chewiness as it warms.
The overall character is intimate and a little gothic, sitting close to the skin and reading more as a mood than a full pyramid. It works best in cool weather as a quiet personal scent rather than a projecting statement, and skews unisex in feel.
