By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a tart cocktail rush — black currant's grape-skin sourness against a doubled citrus of lemon and bergamot. The first ten minutes have the recognizable lift of a chilled drink: bright, sour, just shy of fizzy.
The heart turns creamy. Gardenia and jasmine warm the citrus into a soft, indolic floral pool, and the base brings sandalwood and vanilla to thicken it. Amber and a clean musk hold the dry-down close to the skin, smoothing the seam between the sharper top and the cushioned base.
The arc is from cocktail glass to dessert spoon. Sweet but not gourmand-heavy; floral but not soliflore. Reads as casual and warm-weather, the kind of perfume that lives well at brunch and gets reapplied by evening.
