By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint slashes through the citrus quartet, creating an almost glacial opening that feels like crushed ice laced with lime zest. The heart introduces magnolia's creamy lemon-peach facet, but cumin's sweaty, oily spice cuts the sweetness, producing an unsettling salty-sour tension rather than comfort. Incense and cedar arrive early, their dry smoke and pencil-sharp wood pinning the floral-spice accord against a stark backdrop while amber tries unsuccessfully to soften the edges. Over hours the menthol fades, leaving cedar-cumin dust on skin with a quiet musk that smells like sun-warmed limestone. Projection stays arm-length for five hours, then collapses to a resin-powder whisper perfect for breezy spring afternoons when you want coolness without aquatic clichés.
