By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a juicy black currant over pink pepper and bergamot — tart, slightly leafy, the cassis reading green-stem more than candied.
The heart turns dewy and white as lily of the valley and freesia drift in around a soft rose, the florals reading bright and watery rather than heavy. As the composition settles, patchouli takes a foundational role beneath tonka bean and vetiver, lending an earthy spine that keeps the airy florals from floating away, cedar adding a dry vertical line. Musk closes the drydown into a clean skin warmth. Texture is glossy and crisp, projection is moderate then close, the temperature reads cool with warm edges. It evokes wet leaves on a garden path after dawn.
Overall a fresh fruity-floral composition with a chypre-leaning patchouli drydown.
