By the editors · 2 min readRussian Present Red opens with black currant against orange and bergamot—a fruity citrus combination with both tart and sweet aspects. The heart extends the fruit theme via apricot, while jasmine, lily, lily of the valley, and rose form a broad floral backdrop that is pleasant but not particularly distinctive.
Tonka bean, amber, and vanilla warm the base, and cedar provides a minimal woody structure. The composition follows a standard fruity-floral-oriental arc without deviating from it. Its strength is coherence; the various sweet and floral threads resolve cleanly in the drydown rather than competing with or muddling each other.
