ローズウィップ - フレグランスデュオ

The black currant gives it this unexpected tartness that makes the leather note feel almost edible. I’ve worn it three days straight and keep catching whiffs of that honeyed osmanthus on my scarf hours later.

I put it on before dinner and four hours later the black currant was still humming under the leather, not powdery or old-lady at all. The osmanthus gives it this honeyed warmth that cuts the rose’s usual sweetness, and I keep catching myself sniffing my wrist.

The rose is velvety and soft up close, but that leather note underneath keeps it from being a typical floral—I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf hours later. The black currant adds just enough sweetness to make it feel indulgent without going syrup-y.
