By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens cool and crushed-green, its watery bitterness framing the tart black-currant bud while bergamot and grapefruit squeeze metallic brightness through the leaves. The heart is a single jasmine, but its indole-flecked cream folds the sharper top into a softer yellow-floral arc that smells like warm skin after handling berries. Brown sugar lands first in the base, melting into cedar shavings and a quiet ambergris wash that keeps the sugar from turning gourmand; musks stay low, extending skin-contact rather than announcing presence. After two hours the composition relaxes into a sheer blond-wood sweetness, faintly salty from the ambergris and still carrying a ghost of green leaf. Projection remains arm-length, perfect for breezy spring days or post-beach skin; longevity clocks six to seven hours before it becomes a cedar-paper whisper.
