Etude 1.4 - Le Goût EdP

I’ve been reaching for this every morning since it arrived—the blackcurrant gives it a fresh, almost juicy opening that dries down into a warm tonka bean finish. It lasts about six hours on my skin, which feels right for the price. The saffron stays subtle, more of a backdrop than the main event.

The tonka bean gives it a creamy warmth that lingers for hours, which I didn't expect for such a bright blackcurrant opening. It's playful and grown-up at the same time, and I keep catching myself sniffing my wrist.

The saffron here is surprisingly sweet rather than smoky, which threw me off at first but grew on me fast. The tonka bean gives it a creamy warmth that lasts most of the day on my skin, though it fades closer than I'd like by evening.
