By the editors · 2 min readApple and black currant open with a juicy, slightly tart fruit accord. The black currant's distinctive blackberry-bud edge adds dimension to the cleaner apple, and the pairing reads modern feminine.
Raspberry, jasmine, freesia, and rose carry the heart into a fruity-floral middle that doubles down on the fruit while introducing dewy florals. Rose dominates here, with raspberry threading through for a jam-flower effect. Freesia adds peppery-green lift, jasmine a creamy backbone.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk close with a soft, warm drydown more supportive than expressive. The amber sweetens, sandalwood smooths, musk holds things close to skin. Overall character: a youthful fruity-floral-rose composition with a warm-but-quiet base, suited to spring and warm autumn casual or date wear.
