Modelled profile
Tart blackcurrant and honey over patchouli and oakmoss, dark and mossy in the old chypre style. It's cool and brooding, a dense, slightly bitter depth that feels mysterious.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
