By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant bursts open with tart, slightly green facets that read almost cassis-candy sweet. Raspberry swirls in immediately, amplifying the jammy red-berry accord while cedar splinters underneath, lending a dry pencil-shaving edge that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy. White musk emerges slowly, stretching the berry molecule into a clean, cottony haze that hovers close to skin. The composition stays linear: the tart top relaxes into a soft berry-musk skin scent, the cedar never growing resinous, the fruit never growing darker. Projection stays polite, a forearm’s-length aura that lingers four-to-five hours, perfect for office days when you want a bright, non-gourmand fruit accent.
