Matiere Premiere Black Currant Extrait

Product Overview

Black Currant Extrait by Matière Première is an intense fruity woody fragrance built around an exceptionally high concentration of French black currant absolute. Rich, vibrant and deeply textured, it explores every facet of cassis, pairing its juicy brightness with dark woods, leather and oud for a bold yet sophisticated composition.

The fragrance opens with an abundant dose of Black Currant Absolute from France, revealing a vivid blend of juicy fruit, green freshness and subtly tart nuances. As it develops, Indonesian patchouli, rose oxide and a leather accord introduce earthy depth, metallic floral facets and supple richness that transform the fruit into something darker and more complex. In the base, Assam oud oil from Bangladesh creates a deep, resinous finish that lingers with remarkable intensity. The overall effect is fruity, woody and powerfully elegant.

What Does Black Currant Extrait Smell Like?

Black Currant Extrait opens with an intensely realistic black currant note. It feels juicy, tangy and slightly green, capturing both the fruit and its leafy freshness in remarkable detail.

As it settles, the composition becomes richer and more structured. Patchouli adds an earthy depth, while rose oxide introduces a cool metallic floral nuance that enhances the brightness of the cassis. The leather accord creates a smooth, refined warmth without overpowering the fruit.

In the dry down, Assam oud adds a dark, resinous richness that anchors the fragrance and gives it exceptional longevity. The result is a fruity woody fragrance that feels bold, sophisticated and unmistakably modern.
