Mixed Emotions

Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
Heart
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
Dry-down
- Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
