Cassis, Rose & Sandalwood
Fragrance notes
Character
Cassis, Rose & Sandalwood introduces tart blackcurrant and bright lemon, softened by the apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus. The opening feels juicy and slightly sharp, more fruit-forward than green. As it develops, the heart leans fully into rose, with two distinct rose notes giving it both fresh and slightly velvety edges. Peony adds a light, airy floral lift that keeps the roses from becoming too heavy. The base is warm and smooth, with creamy sandalwood and soft amber leading the way. Musk and vanilla provide a gentle, skin-like sweetness that does not turn powdery or cloying. The overall impression is a polished, well-blended floral that stays on the brighter side of sweet. It feels most at home in a sunlit garden or a breezy afternoon walk, where its fresh and fruity facets can breathe. The rose is prominent but not old-fashioned, and the fruitiness never veers into candy territory. The main limitation is that the sandalwood and amber remain background players, never fully grounding the lighter notes. It stays close and soft throughout, which makes it easy to wear but also a bit safe. The fruit fades faster than the flowers, leaving a mild, slightly generic floral musk that lacks a strong identity.
