By the editors · 2 min readGinger and bergamot open with a sharp, slightly peppery brightness that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving a pleasant citrus edge. The spice is forward but never aggressive in these first moments.
Black currant pushes through in the heart alongside Bulgarian rose, giving the composition a tart, slightly dark fruitiness. The rose stays recognisable but the currant keeps it from reading as straightforwardly floral. There is a berry-like denseness here that distinguishes it from lighter rose constructions.
Benzoin and cedar form a dry, resinous base that tempers the fruit without sweetening it excessively. The result is a moderately warm, balsamic finish with woody undertones that carry through to the skin.
