By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant and lemon create a tart, slightly green opening that feels like crushed leaves and citrus zest. The heart piles on raspberry with jasmine, lily of the valley, freesia, iris and rose, producing a jammy floral accord where the berry sweetness keeps the white petals from turning soapy. As the fruits fade, sandalwood and cedar dry the bouquet, while amber adds a soft resinous glow and clean musk anchors the composition close to skin. Projection drops to whisper range within three hours, leaving a woody-fruity trail that reads casual rather than seductive. Works best in spring daytime temperatures for office or weekend wear.
