Sublime Balkiss

Sublime Balkiss by The Different Company is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with violet leaf, bergamot, blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry, moves into damask rose, lilac and lily of the valley and dries down to patchouli and cocoa. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.
Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Blueberry Dark, jammy berry. Softer and less sharp than blackcurrant.

Heart

Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Lilac Cool, powdery spring floral. Nostalgic and slightly soapy.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
