By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and saffron open with a juicy metallic flash that quickly turns leathery as cedar folds in dry wood shavings. The violet heart softens the transition, lending a cool powdery veil that keeps the saffron’s medicinal edge from turning harsh. Mid-stage balances tart berry skin against sueded cedar planks, while musk begins to cloud the edges with clean laundry warmth. Dry-down is predominantly a muted leather-musk accord, faintly streaked by the ghost of raspberry tannin and a wisp of violet dust. Projection stays within arm’s length for most of the wear, making it office-safe yet interesting enough for evening drinks. Cool autumn days and early spring nights fit its poised fruit-leather character best.
