“The scent of glacial meltwater rushing past a blackcurrant bush.”
Widely cloned in the budget segment, most prominently by Armaf Club de Nuit Sillage — Olivier Creed and Pierre Bourdon's 1995 launch, inspired by skiing trips to the Swiss Alps. A fresh-green-citrus-musk unisex fragrance with bergamot and mandarin at the top, a green tea-black currant heart, and a musk-sandalwood-galbanum-petitgrain base. Spring-summer leaning, leans daytime, with moderate projection.
