By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint slashes a cool green opening that feels more like crushed garden leaves than candy. The heart stacks tarragon’s anise edge against neroli’s bitter-orange sparkle, while jasmine and rose soften the herbal angles; peach adds a faint osmanthus-like suede that keeps the white petals from turning soapy. Base mint returns, now leaf-dried and rosemary-shadowed, letting white musk and amber warm the composition without erasing the lingering chilled green thread. On skin the peppermint-tarragon accord stays audible for hours, gradually sliding into a quiet musky-amber skin scent with a ghost of tuberose cream. Projection sits at arm’s length for half a day, ideal for spring office or humid travel days.
