It took me awhile to warm up to Pure Shot and was even more of a reach as a blind buy. When I first tested it back when it was released I didn't care for it at all due to the projection and...

Yes, it's yet another flanker and most of them do smell very similar. This flanker is more of the same, but I enjoy this because the floral note is muted and there's more of a focus on the...

Recently I've been paying attention on this note and found it very interesting.
Can you guys recommend me some cassis/black currant prominent fragrances?
Feminine perfumes are welcome once they are wearable enough (I know it's relative, so feel free to suggest). But I really would like to know some masculine cassis prominent frags.
Thanks you!

Dominated:
Silver Mountain Water
Montale's Bois Fruite

To a lesser degree:
Bvlgari ph
Creed Aventus

For those who have smelled Bergamotto Marino, does it share the lasting sour metallic note featured in SMW/Montale Bois Fruite ?

Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau is a beautiful green rose and cassis. Leans a bit toward the traditionally feminine side, however.

TDC Sublime Balkiss has been one of my recent favorites, the opening features a very juicy blackcurrent, and it dries down to a warm patchouly base in the vein of Borneo/Coromandel.
