By the editors · 2 min readThe opening snap of grapefruit here feels more like crushed mint leaf than citrus—green, sharp, almost medicinal in its clarity. Guerlain leans into this herbal brightness without softening it, letting the initial burst stay taut and awake against the skin. It's cooler than most fruit-forward compositions, closer to cologne territory than floral sweetness.
As it settles, jasmine and rose emerge not as full blooms but as sketched suggestions, their contours blurred by that persistent mint-like freshness. The florals never quite take center stage; instead they drift through like cut stems in cold water. Atlas cedar in the base adds a pencil-shaving dryness, grounding what could have been purely ephemeral.
This works best as a palate cleanser—something clean and uncomplicated for warm weather or moments when heavier scents feel too insistent. It won't project far or last long, but that seems intentional. A fleeting, green interlude rather than a statement.
