By the editors · 2 min readBlack currant opens with a tart, slightly green-juiced edge that quickly folds into a heart dominated by freesia's clean, soap-bright lift and a soft, tea-stained rose. The rose here is matte rather than plushy, kept airy by freesia and grounded by a dry, cocoa-tinged patchouli that arrives early and stays close to skin. Over hours the fruit sharpness recedes, leaving a woody-rose suede that smells like crushed petals still clinging to thorny stems. Projection stays within handshake distance, making it office-safe yet present enough for evening drinks. Works best in spring through early fall when its muted sweetness won't compete with heavy coats.
