Its very natural, bitter green scent. Its a bit floral rose, but also leaves and steams from the petigran. A gulbanum bomb thats highly aromatic. Althogh not listed I am getting a heavy dose of tomato leaf in the opening. Reminds me of Belles de Ricci open and Vent Vert drydown – but I preffer it to both.
I recomend if you like unique scents and can handel a bitterness opening. Nothing sweet here. It dries down warmer with a light powderyness like pollen.
The cassis is not as prominent as other notes. Not girly or playfull. More cold, calm and collected. Not as fresh or sour as I expected, more savoury and natural – calming not zingy.
Just sampled Diptyque L’ombre dans L’eau and its almost identical – and half the price!

not bad for the price. reminded me to give some love to my Baruti (Berlin im Winter) which is the most sumptuous, wholesome cassis I have smelled so far.
For 20ish pounds Roger&Gallet gives you an hour of aromatic and fresh (ish) ride.
Baruti is cca. 5 times more expensive but would last 12 hrs + especially on clothes and is a rich dense scent.
I guess it is down to preferences now –

I love the smell of blackcurrant leaves – fruity, but a little bitter. And this is what I got on first spritz. Took me right back to my father’s garden, picking and eating the tangy blackcurrants and smelling the leaves. This scent quickly settled on my skin to creamy woody blackcurrant leaves with a hint of floral in the background. It’s really lovely and like nothing I’ve sampled before. Very natural smelling and delicate, and has perfumed my skin like a good talc would. I’ll definitely be trying more from this French house.

Néroli Facètie, along with Cassis Frénésie are totally worth your money if you want an edc with medium longevity and medium sillage. Both tested in heat and performed great for edc. This one is sharp, earthy, bitter, I really enjoyed the sour dose of cassis in here. There is also a sharp floral in the mix. Men and women can wear this equally. In the end there is a medicinal trail. Lasted for five hours on the skin with greater sillage in the beginning.
Well done!!

If there was some mint added to the top notes, it would be the affordable version of ELdO You or someone like you. Very fresh and clean scent.

This is a very elegant blackcurrant cologne from Roger & Gallet. Everything about this is subtle and classy, yet the longevity is surprisingly good. It’s fruity without being sickeningly sweet, and floral without being cloying. It’s also totally unisex in my opinion. I can’t wait to wear this in spring with a suit and tie. The quality/value ratio is unbeatable; it really does smell expensive. R&G have knocked this one out of the park!

In the city in where I live, this new Roger & Gallet line is already sold, and I tell you, is absolutely gorgeous.
One does not know what should admire more, the stylish bottles with details of white china, the boxes with paterns in the Toile de Jouy fashion, the concept, the formulas full of beautiful natural ingredientes, the idea of bringing back the old Extraits de Cologne, the beauty and originality of the compositions… All of them were astonishing, but my favourites were the Verbeine Utopie and this Cassis Frénesie. Forget all these perfumes with sour cassis that smells like cat wee, the sticky roses and the overdoses of etyl maltol. This rose-cassis duo is fresh as a morning in a French garden, smells very botanical and natural, is like grass and tender flowers moist with dew. Beauteous. Use it, and you will feel like Marie Antoinette or Madame de Pompadour, who disguised themselves like shepperd-girls and play to be peasant women in the Petit Trianon or Rambouillet, but still they were princesses. And in spite of its being a Cologne, its lasting power is really good, and as fragance it is very versatile.
Perhaps this is the best perfume line in a long time, and it does not come from Chanel, Guerlain, Dior or YSL, but from a relatively humble brand, budget friendly, which is sold at chemists’.
