By the editors · 2 min readA sharp, citrus-led cologne that pushes the gin-and-tonic reference further than most. Mint hits first with a leaf-cold zing, lime and grapefruit pile in behind it, and the opening reads literal — green glass and ice.
The heart is the smallest move in the composition: a swipe of ginger to keep the citrus from going flat. There's no floral middle to speak of; the structure is built top-to-base, with the mint refusing to fade as quickly as a typical hesperidic should.
The drydown is dry and slightly mineral — vetiver gives the rooty grass, cedar adds pencil-shaving warmth, and musk smooths the edges. Holds tighter than expected for the genre. Built for hot afternoons and the first hour of an evening.
