By the editors · 2 min readBlackberry and bergamot open with a dark, fruity brightness — the blackberry offering a tart, slightly inky quality alongside the citrus. The heart reduces to leather and rose, a stark pairing that defines the composition's character: dark fruit over rough leather, tempered by the rose's softness.
Oakmoss grounds the base with classic chypre earthiness, while ambroxan extends projection with a diffuse, woody-musky radiance. The combination of leather, rose, and oakmoss gives this a dark, animalic quality.
This is a dark, modern chypre-leather — the berry opening gives way to something drier and more serious. The oakmoss and ambroxan base carries well. Suited to evening wear in cooler months when the leather and moss read as sophisticated rather than heavy.
