Blackcurrant bud
The scent of blackcurrant is not drawn from its berries but from its buds, harvested while still closed and processed with solvents into an absolute. It smells of dark fruit, with a green, slightly sulphurous facet, almost animalic in large doses. Burgundy is one of the regions that produce it.
What it brings
A tart, green, sharp dark fruit.
