Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
Florence Anne Blackcurrant & Fig is a women's perfume from the British brand Florence Anne, released in 2014.
The composition's main accents are clear from its name: juicy blackcurrant and soft, velvety fig.
This is a concise fruity fragrance for women, built around the contrast between cool berry tartness and the sweet, green character of fig.
The fragrance belongs to the fruity fragrance family.
Its character is easy to imagine as a combination of dark berries and ripe fig: blackcurrant adds definition, while fig makes the scent rounder and creamier.
At the same time, the note pyramid contains only the two stated components, so the fragrance feels cohesive, without overloaded transitions.
Florence Anne Blackcurrant & Fig is positioned as a women's perfume with very strong sillage.
This is worth taking into account when applying it: the fragrance can be noticeable in the surrounding space and linger in the memory of those nearby.
Its fruity profile will appeal to those who enjoy expressive compositions with a distinctive berry-and-fig character.
Since no recommended dosage data is available, it is impossible to determine the exact number of sprays for the skin and clothing.
It is more practical to start with a small amount and assess how blackcurrant and fig develop on your own skin, especially indoors.
The dosage for clothing should also be chosen carefully, as very strong sillage may feel more intense on fabric.
The main notes of Florence Anne Blackcurrant & Fig are blackcurrant and fig. At the opening, blackcurrant gives the composition a juicy, rich and slightly tart tone.
As the fragrance develops, fig softens the berry's intensity, adding body and roundness.
No separate top, heart or base notes are listed, so the division into classic stages is only approximate here.
The main impression is created not by a complex multi-layered pyramid, but by the duet of fruity accords.
This simplicity makes the fragrance easy to understand for those discovering it and convenient to compare with other fig-and-berry compositions.
