By the editors · 2 min readMint snaps open with a cool green flash that quickly folds into cedar’s dry pencil-shaving wood. Patchouli arrives early, earthy and slightly camphorous, riding the cedar rather than waiting for the base, so the heart smells like splintered forest floor sprinkled with wet leaves. Vanilla softens the edges after ninety minutes, turning the earthiness into a muted cocoa-powder warmth that stays close to skin. Projection drops to whisper level within three hours, leaving a shadow of sweetened wood that feels more indoor than evening-out. Best worn in cool weather when you want quiet, bookish comfort instead of statement sillage.
