By the editors · 2 min readEmotion starts with black currant and lychee, offering a juicy, tart fruity opening that feels bright and slightly sweet. Jasmine emerges as the sole heart note, providing a floral freshness that complements the fruity top without overwhelming it. Ambergris, amber, and patchouli form a base that is musky, resinous, and earthy, adding depth and a slightly animalic undertone. The fragrance shifts from fruity-floral to a warmer, ambery-patchouli dry-down over the first hour. It maintains moderate projection for 4-5 hours, best suited for spring and summer casual wear in warm weather. The simplicity of the structure makes it linear after the initial transition.
