The opening is very blackcurrant forward and immediately reminds me of Robinsons Squash smelled straight from the bottle, juicy and distinctly fruity. After a while, delicate jasmine joins in, along with a touch of davana, which subtly enhances the sweetness of the blackcurrant and adds a light aromatic nuance to the composition. In the base, oakmoss and earthy patchouli appear, but fortunately it’s not the heavy, cellar like type, but rather soft, slightly green and elegant. The composition is very pleasant overall and has something about it that reminds me of a summer forest after the rain. Unfortunately, the fragrance is rather fleeting. Longevity is around four hours, with moderate projection for the first hour, after which it quickly becomes a skin scent. A pity, because it’s truly a very enjoyable composition.
