To Be Tattooart
To Be Tattooart opens with a dark-fruity combination that reads as both sweet and slightly tart: plum and black currant lead, cardamom adding dry spice, freesia providing a clean floral counterpoint that prevents the fruit from becoming heavy.

By the editors · 2 min readTo Be Tattooart opens with a dark-fruity combination that reads as both sweet and slightly tart: plum and black currant lead, cardamom adding dry spice, freesia providing a clean floral counterpoint that prevents the fruit from becoming heavy. The cardamom adds a sophistication that elevates what could have been a simple fruity opening.
The heart is a full aromatic-floral accord: lavender and clary sage provide the herbal register, jasmine the white floral warmth, violet a suede-soft sweetness, heliotrope threading a powdery almond note through everything. It is a busy mid-section, but well-managed — the classical lavender-jasmine-violet combination is set up well by the dark fruit opening.
Tonka bean, amberwood, sandalwood, and ambroxan form a rich, smooth base with considerable warmth and projection. Cedar adds dry structural depth. To Be Tattooart delivers more layering than its mainstream positioning might suggest.
