Red Currant is Votivo's best-selling fragrance, and for good reason. It's beloved year-round and has a devoted following of customers who come back to it again and again.
The Scent Profile
Smells like: Tart citrus and earthy greens
Feels like: Sun-drenched leaves and golden rays filtering through greenhouse windows
Red Currant captures that perfect balance of bright and grounded. It's tart without being sharp, green without being overly herbal, and fresh without feeling generic.
The Fragrance Notes
Top Notes: Earthy Green, Galbanum, Tart Citrus
Middle Notes: Cassis, Tropical Fruit
Base Notes: Fruity Musk
The tart citrus hits you first, followed by the heart of cassis (black currant) and tropical fruit. The earthy green notes and fruity musk create a grounding foundation that keeps the scent from being too sweet or one-dimensional.
Why People Love It
Red Currant is one of those rare fragrances that works in any season, any room, and appeals to almost everyone. It's fresh enough for spring and summer, but has enough depth for fall and winter.
It's also incredibly versatile. Red Currant works beautifully in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. It's sophisticated without being stuffy, unique without being polarizing.
